Artemi Panarin's power-play goal at 4:46 of overtime gave the New York Rangers a 4-3 win in Game 7, eliminating the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday night.
The Rangers will face the Carolina Hurricanes in the second round, the first time New York has advanced past the first round since 2017.
The Penguins were seeking a second-round appearance for the first time since 2018. The loss could mark the end of their veteran core's time together, as center Evgeni Malkin and defenseman Kris Letang are free agents this summer.
