The opening series in the postseason saw the Rangers oust the Pens 4-1. The final pair of victories came in overtime.

Game 4 took place in Pittsburgh, as the Rangers entered with 2-1 edge over the Pens. The Blueshirts were down 1-0 late in the second period when Derick Brassard tied the game. Then, Kevin Hayes would score the game-winner in overtime to send the team back to New York with just one win away from eliminating Pittsburgh and advancing to the next round.

Game 5 was another tight contest with the Rangers taking the early 1-0 lead. Nonetheless, the Penguins tied it up late in the second period. This time, the overtime hero was Carl Hagelin, who scored the game-winner at 10:42 in the extra period.

The win would send the Rangers to the second round to face the Washington Capitals.
