Perfect start to the day!
As an added bonus the New York Rangers v Pittsburgh Penguins game was an early starter which meant no stupidly late bedtime on a school night! The only downside was having to listen to the MSNBC commentators. 26 seconds in to the first period Rick Nash made it 1 - 0 Rangers. Rangers then pushed things to 2 - 0 with a great shot from Derrick Brassard at 06:08. Penguins pulled one back on their third power play at 15:08 to make it 2 - 1. First period ended with the Rangers leading 2 - 1. Shots on goal were NYR 12 and PIT 11.
Rangers came out strong in the second and it was 3 - 1 at 02:39 with Rick Nash bagging his second and going top of the goal scorers in the NHL with 28 goals this season so far. Derek Stepan took the Rangers 4 - 1 up at 05:34 with a great power play goal. Penguins then swap goalies. Rangers put on a lot of pressure this period and locked down the Penguins well. Second period ended with the Rangers leading 4 - 1. Shots on goal were NYR 12 (24) and PIT 7 (18).
Third period saw the Penguins looking like they meant business. They had reduced their deficit to 4 - 2 at 04:16 after some dire defence by the Rangers. Rangers woke up after that and Derek Stepan scored his second and made it 5 - 2 at 06:15. Rangers won the game 5 - 2. Shots on goal were NYR 7 (31) and PIT 15 (34).
