Rangers 3 Penguins 2
We'll after a terrible start to the period, giving the Penguins 2 gift wrapped goals, the Rangers rebounded fairly well and were even able to re-gain the lead.
The Penguins first got on the board with a breakaway due to the Rangers making an ill advised change. Just after that, Henrik and Tyutin had a bad exchange leading to another Pittsburgh goal. But, a little while later the Penguins decided to return the favor and Freddy Sjostrom was able to capitalize off a bad turnover.
After this flurry early, things settled down and the Rangers played pretty well. They drew two power plays, and would have scored on the first one if not for a great play by Orpik to keep the puck out of the net. I could have sworn it was in while watching live. It seems like the Penguin defensemen had more saves than Conklin that period.
A good sign in that period is that Marty Straka seems to be finding his stride. He had two great scoring chances and is playing noticibly better than he has the past few weeks. Also, Henrik made a few great saves near the end of the period to preserve the lead, rebounding well from the rough start.
This is going to be a long 20 minutes...
