Just 48 hours after laying the beat down on the Pittsburgh Penguins, the New York Rangers were handed a loss of their own. The Penguins were able to rebound after Tuesday night’s effort, and smothered the Rangers for a good portion of the game in the offensive zone. Igor Shesterkin did his best to keep the Rangers in the game early in the first period, and made 27-saves throughout the evening.
1st Period

After taking a beating in the previous game, the Penguins had a much quicker start and they were rewarded with the opening goal.
