MSGN airing New York Rangers games from 2014-15 all week
MSG Network has hockey fans covered, as they’ll be showing games from the New York Rangers’ 2014-15 season this week.
MSG Network will feature games from the New York Rangers‘ 2014-15 campaign this week in the midst of the sports world blackout. This will include their first-round playoff series against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
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.
