The New York Rangers came back from a two-goal deficit against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday night to stave off elimination 5-3 in Game 5.

However, the Penguins were not done.
Jake Guentzel tied the game at the 18:06 mark on an assist from Evgeni Malkin. Unfortunately, Pittsburgh lost Sidney Crosby with an injury in the second period after a hit from Trouba and he didn’t return. Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said Crosby was getting an MRI and didn’t have any updates.

"We have plenty of leaders on this team that do a lot. We never want to see a player like that leave, but we have to find a way... He's the best player in the world. That's a lot of minutes other guys have to take up. Next man up," Guentzel said.
