So far the teams have exchanged leads with the Penguins striking first, until the Rangers battled back and took a early 4-3 lead in the 3rd period. The Rangers would get a huge opportunity to go up 5-3 when Jake Guentzel and Evgeni Malkin would crash into each other causing a 4 on 1.
Luckily for the Penguins Chris Kreider would make an extremely selfish decision, and Dominigue would come up huge with a glove save.
