Defender Adam Fox is the Rangers' top scorer in the playoffs. There are nine points, three goals and six assists.

"We've been treating every game since we went down like it's Game 7," Kreider said. "It was do or die for us, so nothing changes."

"It's exciting," said New York coach Gerard Gallant. "Three days ago we were down 3-1, and now we have a chance to go home and win Game 7. But you know, the first two were battles and we had to win a lot, and nothing's going to change next time. I mean, the ice at home is great. It's going to be a great game.

"It's Game 7, the winner stays and the loser goes home. I think it's going to be a great game."

The New York Rangers finished the regular season in fourth place. In the last 10 games, a very irregular campaign of six defeats and four wins, three against the Penguins.

 

"Nobody said it was going to be easy, you know?" said defender Kris Letang. "They are a very good team. They have a lot of skillful players who can score goals. It's a run for 4 and we have to regroup, stay positive and get the job done."

"We were in a good place," said coach Mike Sullivan. "I think our team was playing well. We give them a power play and they score, and now it's a one-goal game. It's an impulse game. I think I'm probably stating the obvious, but the special teams were the We have to be better. We have to be better at power play, we have to be better at penalty."

"I think the two 5-on-3 we got, we were a little bit deliberate with our decision making and our execution," Sullivan said. "As a result, I think we're predictable. When the power play is firing on all cylinders, these guys are moving. There's a lot of movement, there's a lot of instinctual play, and it's hard to deal with them."

"I thought Geno's goal late in the second was a big boost for the group," Sullivan said. "So I thought he had a strong game."

"It's not going to be a perfect game where we score a few goals, we stay on our feet the whole game and we play a perfect game. They're going to have their pushes. They can score one or two. I think we need to do a better job. shaken in these situations and just stay the course."

“Either we regroup, or we're sorry and we go to the track tomorrow and we kind of lose heart and we go to New York and see what happens in the game type,” Matheson said. “That doesn't sound like a very fun option to me. I don't think anyone in the locker room feels that way. So the only option is to just park what happened.

“Regardless of how the games went, if we were down 3-1 and we came back to make it 3-3 and went into this game 7, we would be expected to feel a certain way – and that wouldn't help. we go to game 7. Games 7 are crazy games where anything can happen. It's up to us to do our best and see what happens."

The Pittsburgh Penguins finished the regular season in seventh place with 101 points. It opened 3-1 in the series against the Rangers, but they conceded the tie.
