My most memorable game: Ron Francis

Installment No. 5 in an occasional series highlighting the most memorable game in which players participated as a member of the Penguins.

Player: Ron Francis
Date: May 9, 1992
Game: Game 4, Patrick Division final
Site: Mellon Arena
Result: Penguins, 5-4 in overtime
Three stars: 1) Penguins C Ron Francis. 2) Rangers C Mark Messier. 3) Penguins LW Kevin Stevens.

The Penguins were down, 2-1, in the series. The best player on their team -- and the planet -- was in street clothes, nursing a broken hand caused by an Adam Graves slash during Game 2.
