NY Rangers Zoom Past Penguins

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Artemi Panarin had two goals and three assists, and the New York Rangers zoomed past the Pittsburgh Penguins for a 7-4 win. Adam Fox and K’Andre Miller added a goal and an assist each for the Rangers. New York has won four of five to create a sliver of space in its race with Carolina for first in the Metropolitan Division. Bryan Rust scored his 20th of the season for Pittsburgh. It wasn’t enough for the reeling Penguins, who have lost eight of 10 to fall off the pace in the race for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
