We will give the Rangers one last chance because honestly, they have looked terrible. They were anchored by probable Vezina Trophy winner in Igor Shesterkin but he has struggled this series. The Rangers have also been terrible in front of him. The Penguins won’t take the game off but they would be perfectly fine with going home up 3-2 in this series with a chance to close it out at home. I thought this was going to be a seven game series but I might have been very wrong there, so we will see if the Rangers can avoid losing this series at home in 5 games.
I would have bet you $5K that Pens third-stringer Louis Domingue wouldn't be outplaying sure-fire Vezina Trophy winner Igor Shesterkin of the Rangers in this series. But that's fact as Shesterkin has been yanked in back-to-back blowouts in Pittsburgh. Domingue has been OK, but that's all he has needed to be. I find it hard to fathom the Rangers go out this meekly at home in Game 5 on Wednesday -- and Shesterkin was quite a bit better at MSG during the regular season. The SL Model has NYR winning 3.1-2.5.
