The Penguins welcomed Bryan Rust back on home ice and saw an early spark from 18-year-old Ben Kindel, who scored his very first NHL goal. Yet the Rangers, coached by Mike Sullivan, surged ahead for a 6-1 win at Pittsburgh’s PPG Paints Arena.

Igor Shesterkin delivered a dominant 37-save shutout, helping the New York Rangers defeat the Buffalo Sabres 4-0. With three goals in the final five minutes, the team secured head coach Mike Sullivan’s first win behind the bench.
