Pittsburgh scored the first two goals of the match and seemed to be heading for progress. Jake Guentzel opened the score and Kris Letang raised in the 28th minute. But the Rangers made a lightning turn. Adam Fox, Alexis Lafreniere and Jacob Trouba turned on 3 – 2 between the 36th and 38th minutes. In thirteen seconds, however, Guentzel equalized, who scored in every match in the series and has seven goals in this year’s playoffs.

Catched prevailed at 3: 3 in the 3rd minute of the third part in the Rangers power play. After penetrating into the attacking period, he found himself unguarded in the right circle, where a lone puck slipped up to him and the Czech forward without hesitation sent a precise projectile behind the back of goalkeeper Domingu. “Someone was pouring in on me, I don’t even know how it happened. I didn’t score many goals during the season, so I didn’t think too much, I just closed my eyes and sent it there,” the 22-year-old forward smirked after the match in which he scored his first goal play off and was named the biggest star.

The Rangers’ win was then sealed by Ryan Lindgren in Pittsburgh without a goalkeeper. The Penguins finished without their leader Sidney Crosby, who resigned at the end of the second period due to an injury to the upper body.

Carter Verhaeghe managed five points (2 + 3) of Florida’s turnover in the match with Washington from 0: 3 to the final 5: 3. Washington led 3-0 at the start of the middle period, TJ Oshie scored twice and Justin Schultz scored the remaining goal. But Florida leveled before the second siren. The turnaround started with Verhaeghe, followed by Patric Hörnqvist and Sam Reinhart. At the beginning of the last period, he turned the lead to the side of the winner of the basic part of Verhaeghe, after whose pass Claude Giroux crowned the win. On the side of the losers, Vítek Vaněček played the role of a substitute goalkeeper.
