Rangers Routed in Pittsburgh 7-2
The Rangers looking very sluggish tonight in Pittsburgh were just plain out skated by the Penguins from the start. During the first period it took the Blueshirts 9 minutes to even get a shot on goal and were out shot 21 to 8 in the period.
The Penguins took a 1-0 lead in the first 6 minutes while Kevin Klein was in the box for a 4 minute high sticking penalty.
The Rangers were lucky to head to intermission tied at 1 when Matt Puempel was able to sneak one past Penguins' Matt Murray to tie the game.
The second period was all Pens who took a 3-1 lead heading into the 3rd period.
Rangers looked to be back in the game when Michael Grabner scored his 14th of the season and cut the lead to 3-2. But, the Pens rallied back and scored 4 unanswered goals to take the Win.
Antti Raanta had 40 saves on 47 shots on goal while the Rangers managed to get 28 shots on net.
Rangers return to action on Friday when they host the Minnesota Wild, 7:00 PM.
