The New York Rangers were the aggressors once again to start Game 3 against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday and their early pressure paid off.

Rangers defenseman Keith Yandle caught Pittsburgh making a line change and found Carl Hagelin with a long pass through the neutral zone. Hagelin used his speed to split the defense and blasted a slap shot through Marc-Andre Fleury to open the scoring 8:43 into the contest.
