Carolina Hurricanes vs New York Rangers second round of NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs. Who are Hurricanes playing? When do Hurricanes play?

He directs the team in a north-south game, similar to how the Canes run. His style has fit the Rangers’ roster perfectly, and he led them to a 52-win season. Fox, who tied for second in the league with 33 power-play assists, plays a role for them similar to DeAngelo in Carolina, and Panarin is deadly, too, with 32 power-play assists of his own — and the game-winner with the extra skater in overtime in Game 7. But this is one position at which, again, on paper, the Rangers have an advantage. In the Rangers’ final 14 games, they were just 6-for-37 on power-play opportunities. The Rangers’ best goaltending performance against Carolina this season was by Georgiev, who had a 44-save shutout in Raleigh. But early in the series against the Penguins, he looked not only mortal, but downright bad, getting outdueled in a score-fest by Pens’ third-stringer Louis Domingue. Much like the Canes’ Tony DeAngelo, Fox is a creative defender and a high octane offensive threat. The Rangers also feature what many refer to as “the kid line”: Alexis Lafreniere, 20, Filip Chytil, 22, and Kaapo Kakko, 21. Sure, each player has a bent toward offense or defense from the blue line, but all four of the Rangers’ top defenders can manage assignments against the top lines from opposing teams. Trailing by a goal in the third period, Mika Zibenajad scored to send the game into overtime, and Artemi Panarin finished on a power play in the extra session to lift the Rangers over the Pittsburgh Penguins, 4-3, in Game 7 of their first-round series. Back in early February, the Canes had a large advantage in the division, but the hot-shooting Rangers, led by a strong if unexpected season from Chris Kreider and elite Vezina Trophy caliber goaltending from Igor Shesterkin, caught up.

NEW YORK — The player once known as Sid the Kid is no longer a kid anymore. You probably couldn't tell based on the way he played in the Pittsburgh ...

Domingue played admirably, but the Penguins had three chances to eliminate the Rangers in Games 5, 6 and 7, and they blew leads in each of those three games and goaltending was part of the problem. The Rangers showed a remarkable ability to come back, but this particular comeback effort was not without controversy. To make matters worse, the goalie whose shadow Jarry was still in—Marc Andre-Fleury—won a Vezina Trophy with the Vegas Golden Knights. An anxious MSG crowd was expecting the end. "They're generational players, and Pittsburgh has been lucky enough to have three of them for the last 15 years," goalie Tristan Jarry said. They all entered the league within a year of one another as heralded rookies, and they lived up to the billing. Former general manager Ray Shero and former head coach Dan Bylsma have their names etched on that 2009 trophy, but it was Jim Rutherford and Mike Sullivan who had taken their places by the time they won back-to-back Cups in 2016 and 2017. "I think it stinks," Sullivan said. This series might have been different had he not been injured for the first six games. Jarry has solidified his place in the organization's future. "But it's something in the back of your mind. By the time they're at their most dangerous, the club will have a wide-open championship window.

The only way the Rangers win this series is if he’s lights-out, which he more than likely will be. The stars have to be able to make a bigger difference this time around. I would argue that the Bruins were a worse matchup for the Canes than the Rangers are, but you can’t count out this New York squad. PNC Arena will be rocking once again but betting on going 4-0 in that building again to win the series seems unsustainable. The Canes of course easily took that series in three games but this series will not be nearly as easy. Throughout the series against the Bruins, the powerplay was oftentimes too stationary and failed to generate enough good chances.

The Rangers' biggest fan on Sunday night may have been Jets quarterback Zach Wilson.

He also assisted on Panarin’s game winner in the overtime period. Per Wilson’s Instagram story, the two appeared to grab dinner before the game. In Game 7, Pittsburgh held a 3-2 lead late into the third period, until Mika Zibenajad tied the game up with a late goal.

NY Rangers defeat the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 7 with a 4-3 score in overtime, winning first-round playoff series.

The Rangers were able to rally from a 3-1 series deficit and ward off elimination twice throughout the playoff series. This Rangers team became just the third in franchise history to overcome a 3-1 series deficit, and is the first to reach Round 2 since they did so in the 2016-17 season. The NY Rangers Artemi Panerin scored the winning overtime goal to bring the Rangers to a 4-3 Game 7 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins, winning the first-round of the Stanley Cup playoff series.

After a pair of seven-game battles that might have brought an end to two Eastern Conference institutions, the second-round series between New York and ...

They were the league’s best in that regard, putting up a ridiculous +76 goal differential in the process as Raanta and starter Frederik Andersen won the William Jennings. But now Andersen is on the sidelines, and the team’s success will rise and fall with dutiful backup Raanta. He did all that was asked of him through Round 1, putting up a dominant .927 save percentage in the six games he played (young Pyotr Kochetkov had to check in for one tilt after a collision forced Raanta to the sidelines too). If he can keep rolling, the Canes have enough dotted throughout the rest of their roster to push this run forward. As was the case with the Canes’ first-round battle, and as will likely be the case for this whole run, it all comes down to Raanta. Crucial to the Canes’ success this season, as they finished as division champs for the second straight year, was their ability to keep pucks out of the net. If the Rangers faithful are looking for reason to worry heading into this second-round series — here’s one: In every game New York played against the Canes this season, the Rangers’ star sniper, Kreider, scored a goal. While Crosby, Rakell and starter Tristan Jarry all returned for the do-or-die Game 7, it wasn’t enough to slow the Rangers — particularly Zibanejad, who’d found his game once he was able to escape the matchup with Crosby, and kept it rolling after No. 87 returned by scoring a crucial tying goal late in the series finale. Playing a brutally hard-nosed game from the opening puck-drop to the final whistle, they tilted the series with physicality before their skill caught up with them and their goaltender found his game. Amid the chaos of that roster turnstyle, New York stole two games back, keeping their season alive and putting the Penguins on the back foot. It was a wild, wild ride that delivered the Rangers to the second round. And then the veteran Bruins turned around and did the same to them in Games 3 and 4, taking both and outscoring Carolina 10-4. The Canes and Rangers have crossed paths just once in the playoffs before, but you don’t have to dig too far to find that lone bit of history. That’s a good sign for Carolina, whose offensive success has come from all corners of the lineup so far — something they’ll need to continue if they want to keep Igor Shesterkin looking human in these playoffs. Heading into the post-season without their No. 1 netminder, then temporarily losing their No. 2 — a la their current foe’s first-round opponent — Carolina continued to push forward and made it out alive. In Raleigh, the Canes have simply kept building on momentum that’s been picking up steam year over year, the club continuing to add talent and roll forward.

The Penguins are really blaming the "helmet rule" for losing the series to the New York Rangers.

The New York Rangers are advancing to Round 2 because they fought for and deserved it. He did not HAVE TO come off meaning the loss is fully on them. I’ve reviewed it myself several times and the on-ice result had nothing to do with Pettersson’s helmet coming off. As the players went down, Lafrenière’s arm was up around Pettersson’s head causing the helmet to come off. A player on the ice whose helmet comes off during play shall be assessed a minor penalty if he does not exit the playing surface, or retrieve and replace his helmet properly on his head (with or without his chin strap fastened), within a reasonable period of time. Alexis Lafrenière and Penguins defenseman Marcus Pettersson got tangled up behind the Pittsburgh goal.

While the last three games stand out in a comeback series, every game matters. Game 2, for instance, was just as impactful as any contest, and one that possibly ...

It wasn’t for a lack of effort or willingness to lay it on the line. Pittsburgh’s downfall was a predictable result — and perhaps inevitable — when dealing with the talent differences on both ends of the ice. On the surface, squandering a 3 games to 1 series lead can be confusing and angering. Game 2, for instance, was just as impactful as any contest, and one that possibly could have gone a different way if Igor Shesterkin wasn’t excellent and Pittsburgh got better goaltending. The Pens scored 25 goals in seven games on Shesterkin, which is both impressive and confounding at the same time. Just disappointing to think about that we had a lead in each game and gave that away.
