""Special teams was good," Fox said. "The PK [4-for-4 with a shorthanded goal] was great. The power play [2-for-4] wasn't great, but you find a way - you put some pucks on net and get some goals. And, you know, I think sometimes that's just how the power play goes. You put it to the net and get some. But we definitely cleaned up a lot, 5-on-5, there in the second period.""
"The Penguins, who had won their first two games, against the Rangers Tuesday at the Garden, and then at home against the Islanders Thursday, largely outplayed the Rangers in the first period, and outshot the visitors 9-4. But the Rangers led, 1-0, on Mika Zibanejad's shorthanded goal at 7:40. It came with Juuso Parssinen in the box for tripping, and started when Fox cleared the puck out of the zone, springing Sam Carrick and Zibanejad on a two-on-one."
Mike Sullivan returned to Pittsburgh for the first time since parting ways with the Penguins last April while coaching the visiting Rangers. Vincent Trocheck will be out week-to-week with an upper-body injury and did not play. Special teams proved decisive as the Rangers scored twice on the power play and once shorthanded in a 6-1 victory that completed a two-game road trip sweep. Adam Fox had two goals and an assist. Igor Shesterkin made 18 saves and has allowed only two goals in three starts. Mika Zibanejad opened the scoring with a shorthanded goal at 7:40 of the first period.
