NHL - 2016 Stanley Cup playoffs - How the Pittsburgh Penguins can rebound after losing Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals

PITTSBURGH -- During the 2015 Stanley Cup playoffs, the New York Rangers were on the brink of elimination in the Eastern Conference finals against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The Rangers needed to win Game 6 on the road to force a Game 7 on their home ice. With a berth to the Stanley Cup finals on the line, the Lightning imploded -- and the Rangers exploded for seven goals in Game 6, running Tampa Bay goalie Ben Bishop from the game in a 7-3 win. And suddenly, with the series headed back to New York for Game 7, the Lightning's chances of advancing seemed bleak.
