Rookie Rust leads Pens to series win
The Penguins ended their postseason slump against the Rangers emphatically Saturday, lighting up Henrik Lundqvist in a remarkably easy 6-3 rout in Game 5 to win the series 4-1 and advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Rookie Bryan Rust scored twice during a four-goal burst in the second period and Matt Murray made 38 saves for the Penguins, who outscored the Rangers 14-4 over the final three games to gain a measure of revenge after the Rangers had ended their season each of the last two years.
Not this time.
Matt Cullen, Carl Hagelin, Conor Sheary and Phil Kessel also scored for the Penguins to end a miserable and brief postseason for Lundqvist, who stopped just 17 of 23 shots and failed to make it to the third period for the third time in the series.
Rick Nash, Dominic Moore and Chris Kreider scored for the Rangers.
It was the first win by a home team in the Western Conference first-round series, which the Ducks lead 3-2.
David Perron scored the tying goal earlier in the second and assisted on Garbutt's goal.
The Ducks added three goals in the third. Sami Vatanen scored on a breakaway, Cam Fowler had a power-play goal and Ryan Kesler had an empty-netter. Frederik Andersen stopped 27 shots for the Ducks.
Koivu scored the tying goal with 3:09 left in regulation, then redirected Ryan Suter's shot from the left point 4:55 in the overtime as the Wild beat the Stars 5-4 on Friday night in their first-round series.
The Stars, the top seed in the Western Conference, still have a 3-2 lead.
