Rapid Reaction: New York Rangers 4, Pittsburgh Penguins 2

PITTSBURGH -- The New York Rangers beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-2 to steal home-ice advantage from the higher-seeded Penguins and tie the series 1-1.

How it happened: The Rangers evened the series by relying on a time-tested formula: timely saves from goalie Henrik Lundqvist combined with a relentless forecheck.

Trailing 1-0 with time winding down in the second period and looking like the Rangers might be bested by third-string goalie Jeff Zatkoff for a second straight game, Lundqvist made a terrific pad save on Chris Kunitz.
