PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Penguins got a hat trick from Patric Hornqvist and prevailed 5-2 over the New York Rangers in Game 1 of the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs on Wednesday.
How it happened: In the hours before Game 1, this was expected to be a goaltending battle between highly accomplished veteran goalies Marc-Andre Fleury of the Penguins and Henrik Lundqvist of the Rangers. By the time the Penguins skated off with a Game 1 victory, the goaltenders of record were Jeff Zatkoff, who started in place of the injured Fleury and earned a win in his first NHL playoff start, and Antti Raanta, who came on in relief of Lundqvist, who was struck in the eye area of his mask by teammate Marc Staal late in the second period.
