Second-period surge leads Rangers by Penguins
Going into today's game the Penguins were looking to put the Rangers in a 2-0 hole in the series but the Rangers decided to turn the tables on the Penguins. The Rangers won today by a score of 4-2 to make the series tied up at one all. Lot of people thought that Henrik Lundqvist wouldn't play today but they were wrong. Lundqvist had a great game stopping 29 shots out of 31 while Jeff Zatkoff stopped 24 shots out of 28. The game remained scoreless until they got into the second period and that's when the Rangers started lighting up the scoresheet. The first goal of the game didn't go to the Rangers but to the Penguins instead, Phil Kessel scored at 3:21 of the second period to give the Penguins a 1-0 lead, Daley and Bonino were created with the assists. But the Rangers would storm back and score three unanswered goals to make it 3-1 Rangers. The goals were scored by Keith Yandle, Derick Brassard, and Mats Zuccarello. When the third period got underway, the Rangers put the pressure on and added another goal to extend their lead curtsy of Chris Kreider. Five minutes later the Penguins would respond to make it 4-2 on a goal by Phil Kessel and that was his second goal of the game. Bonino and Malkin got the assists on the goal. The Penguins kept putting the pressure on but the Rangers held their ground and came away with the victory. Game 3 is on Tuesday and this time the series shifts to New York at Madison Square Garden. Can the Penguins regroup from their loss and get back on the right track or will the Rangers take that victory as momentum for the next game. Let's cheer on your Penguins to victory on Tuesday. Go Pens!!!!!!!!!
