Scoring Chances for Game 26 vs Pittsburgh
Unlike the first game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, the New York Rangers actually came out ahead in the first period, outchancing the Penguins 5-3, but losing 1-0 thanks to the terrible turnover by Ruslan Fedotenko. The second period, however, more closely resembled what we saw the first time around, with the Rangers completely overwhelmed and allowing chances early and often. They came back (at least in the chances department) in the 3rd period on the back of a couple of power plays, but as has been discussed before, teams trailing late tend to outchance their opponents.
Top Individual Performances: Rangers - Marian Gaborik, 4 chances; Penguins - Evgeni Malkin, 5 chances
Top ES Forwards: Brian Boyle +2, Marian Gaborik +1
Bottom ES Forwards: Brandon Dubinsky -4, Erik Christensen -3
Top ES Defenseman: Michal Rozsival +4
Bottom ES Defenseman: Marc Staal -6
