Another dominating performance on the road in the Steel City
Pittsburgh, PA- The New York Rangers were looking for a little revenge in Pittsburgh when they faced the Penguins at Madison Square Garden in the season opener. This time, they were able to break out and score multiple goals to gain revenge as the Rangers won by a final score of six to one
Mika goes shorthanded
The Penguins were on the power play, but made a bad pass as Adam Fox retrieved the puck and sent Sam Carrick streaking down the near side on a two-on-one. He saw Mika Zibanejad attacking down the far side, made the pass, and Zibanejad scored Shorthanded at 7:40 of the first period.
Kindle isn’t kind
A poor pass from Valdislav Gavrikov was intercepted by Caleb Jones at Center ice. He gives the puck to Ben Kindle as he quickly takes off, goes down the far side, and snaps a hard shot, beating Shesterkin at 3:04 of the second period.
Fox snaps it in
Matt Rempe skated in for the shot, but it was stopped. Adam Edstrom picked up the loose puck and circled toward the near corner. Threw the puck back across to the far point to Adam Fox, who snaps the shot and scored at 6:06 of the second period
Will Cuylle on the power play
The Rangers’ second power play unit is on the ice, as they cycled to get into position. Matt Rempe at the near boards gave the puck to Noah Laba. Found Conor Sheary down low, then a cross-ice pass to Wil Cuylle, who scored at 9:25 of the second period
Fox times two
The Rangers quickly scored on the power play from the faceoff. J.T. Miller won the draw to Artemi Panarin. A quick pass to Fox, slams the shot one time, and beats Silovs for his second of the game at 16:38 of the second period.
Rempe gets in front of one
The Rangers kept pouring it on. Sam Carrick at the near boards finds Adam Edstrom and gives him the puck. Matt Rempe skated to the net and got knocked down in front of Silovs. When Edstrom shot the puck, it went off of Rempe, then off a Penguins defender, and into the net at 5:40 of the third period
The last goal of the game
Taylor Raddysh received a nice pass from Noah Laba for his first goal as a Ranger at 14:12, and that would be all this game needed as the Rangers got some revenge from the season opener at Madison Square Garden. Mike Sullivan earned his first win against his old team in their third game of the season and their second against the Penguins.
