It set-up the momentum of the game as New York continued to press on with the early lead.

They were able to find the second goal while in a power play as Ryan McDonagh scored on a slap shot assisted by Keith Yandle and Mats Zuccarello.

Pittsburgh had to wait for the 27th minute before scoring their opener as Blake Comeau beat the Rangers' defense to cut the lead down to one goal.

Unfortunately, they could not add to their goal tally as they were blanked in the final period for New York to come away with the win.

New York dominated most of the match, eventually finishing the game with 38 total shots on goal, while Pittsburgh only had 25.

Henrik Lundqvist was also impressive, as he stopped 24 attempts from the Penguins as they proved that they were still a force in the conference.

Marc-Andre Fleury started off shaky in the first period but eventually got his bearings back to finish off the game strong. His 36 saves were good enough for a 95% save rate and hopefully he can bring it over to the second game as they try to get one in New York.

Another win for the Rangers will give them a big advantage as the third game is at Pittsburgh, meanwhile, if the Penguins get to steal a game in New York, then home advantage goes their way as the next two games will be played in front of their home crowd.
