NEW YORK – A series that began in Game 1 with a triple overtime marathon that tested both teams’ stamina and Louis Domingue’s stomach was bookended in the same way.
Well, with one notable exception: The result.
The resilient Rangers fought back from 2-0, second-period deficits in Game 5 and Game 6 to force the all-or-nothing Game 7. They did it again in Sunday’s Game 7 with just 5:45 remaining when Rangers forward Mika Zibanejad’s one-timer from the right faceoff dot beat Penguins goalie Tristan Jarry over his glove side to send the game to overtime.
