The fans in attendance surely knew just how much their star goalie needed some encouragement after he was pulled in the previous two games. Shesterkin made 28 saves in the win, including 12 in the third period.<\/p>\n<p>The Garden crowd seemingly started to lose hope after Kris Letang\u2019s one-timer off an Evgeni Malkin feed at 7:58 of the second period gave the Penguins a 2-0 lead. Pittsburgh was clogging every lane, blocking shot after shot and pushing the Rangers to the perimeter in all three zones.<\/p>\n<p><em>Post Sports+ members, sign up to <i>have Mollie Walker text you the latest word on the Rangers and reply with your thoughts and questions<\/i>.

Post: Charles Wenzelberg<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Coincidence? Probably not.<\/p>\n<p>After sustaining some offensive zone time, Adam Fox wired one high-glove on Louis Domingue to cut the Rangers\u2019 deficit to 2-1 and wake up every Blueshirts fan in the building. From behind Pittsburgh\u2019s net, Kakko then fed Lafreniere in front even the score. Lafreniere continued to feed the crowd, pumping his hands up as he celebrated his second goal of the series.<\/p>\n<p>Trouba rode the Rangers momentum, driving to the net and finishing with his backhand to give his team its first lead of the night at 17:53. The Penguins, however, tied it back up 13 seconds later when Jake Guentzel buried another from the slot.<\/p>\n<p>The Rangers made things difficult for themselves just 24 seconds after puck drop, when Chris Kreider took a slashing penalty and Trouba was called for elbowing to send the Penguins on a five-on-three advantage early. Pittsburgh didn\u2019t capitalize, but seemingly built momentum off of it as the Rangers didn\u2019t put a single shot on goal until seven minutes in.<\/p>\n<p>Guentzel collected his own rebound and banked it in off Shesterkin from below the goal line to open the scoring with his sixth tally of the series at 10:28.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
