Kessel rifled a power-play wrister past goalie Henrik Lundqvist, lifting the Penguins into a first-period tie with the Rangers in a game the Pens would go on to win Saturday afternoon.

Analysis:

The shot, which needed a deflection by Lundqvist's stick to hit the net, gave Kessel five points in five playoff games -- he would later go on to add an assist. Kessel gives Pittsburgh a scoring threat on the wing it would not otherwise feature. He led all Penguins forward with 17:42 of playing time.
