The playoff atmosphere is nearing.
In their first meeting of the season with the Penguins, the Rangers fell just short, 1-0, in a high-octane matchup that featured a goaltending battle, a plethora of scrums and a genuine nastiness to it at PPG Paints Arena on Saturday.
After a scoreless two periods, roughly 4 ½ minutes into the final frame, Rangers defenseman Ryan Lindgren was called for a soft hooking penalty on the only player on the ice who would draw it: Penguins star Sidney Crosby. Half of the penalties were for roughing after the whistle, which seemed to become customary halfway through the middle frame.Igor Shesterkin iced the Penguins for much of the game, as he often does, turning aside 25 of the 26 shots he faced in the loss. The Russian netminder got a piece of a hard shot from Crosby on the doorstep in the second period that had the Pittsburgh crowd convinced it was going to be a goal.
