from Mollie Walker of the New York Post,
The Rangers’ ‘No Quit in New York’ slogan says it all, but the Penguins had the last word this time.
After furiously rallying from a three-goal deficit in the first period, the Blueshirts ultimately fell 7-4 to the Penguins following Danton Heinen’s goal in the final frame that broke the tie and blew the roof off a deafening PPG Paints Arena in Game 3 on Saturday night.
The Rangers now trail the first-round Stanley Cup playoff series 2-1 with Game 4 set for Monday.
It took trailing 4-1 to elicit some signs of life from the Rangers after a first period that saw the Penguins have their way and score three goals within the game’s first 10 ½ minutes. Pittsburgh was flying up and down the ice and gaining speed through the neutral zone, which was exactly what the Rangers said they needed to limit.
