— Chris Kreider scored the go-ahead goal in the third period and added an empty-netter, and Igor Shesterkin made 30 saves as theKreider scored at 11:45 by sliding the puck past goaltender Tristan Jarry with Penguins defenseman Brian Dumoulin draped all over the New York forward in the crease. Kreider then scored his 30th of the season into empty net at 19:10 to seal the win and give the third-place Rangers a 10-point lead over Pittsburgh in the Metropolitan Division.
"We played hard tonight — a good, solid game," coach Gerard Gallant said."The lines are good. Everyone is working together." "Always good games against them. Intense,'' Zibenejad said."We know what's at stake. That was a huge win." The goal was Motte's first since returning to the Rangers in a trade with Ottawa on Feb. 19. Motte was a valuable contributor during New York's postseason run last spring and has been part of an effective fourth line in recent games with Barclay Goodrow and Jimmy Vesey.
Rakell tied it at 14:40 of the second with his 24th goal. It also marked Rakell's 400th career point.
