The Pittsburgh Penguins (11-13-4) gave up a goal within 90 seconds of each of their two goals Friday, and their mistake-filled defensive game was fodder for the New York Rangers (14-10-1) transition game and an old teammate.
New York winger Reilly Smith led all players with six shots on goal and achingly missed a couple of glorious chances, including a first-period breakaway. However, the former Pittsburgh Penguins winger finished off his former team by burying a rebound attempt off a two-on-one midway through the third period at 9:53. It was the game winner as New York beat the Penguins 4-2 at Madison Square Garden Friday.
The loss snapped the Penguins four-game winning streak.
