Two Russians made the difference for Rangers in the seventh game of the series. Artemi Panarin scored on the power play after 4:46 minutes in extra time to win, goalie Igor Schesterkin made 42 saves. At Pittsburgh, Sidney Crosby was returning from injury. He was involved in a goal.
With the Calgary Flames, the home team also prevailed in the second Belle on Sunday. It took the Canadians just over 15 minutes of overtime to score Johnny Gaudreau’s 3-2 winner against the Dallas Stars. Dallas had been able to rely on goalie Jake Oettinger for a long time, who saved 60 shots.
