Splitting their first two games after the 4 Nations Face-off break, 1-1, should hardly matter to the Rangers hierarchy that watched the team get destroyed in Buffalo and barely escape Pittsburgh with a win over the last-place club in the Metropolitan Division.

After a tough loss to Washington on Saturday, the Penguins’ first game out of the 4 Nations Face-Off break, they responded with a much better effort on Sunday versus New York. But they still ended up on the wrong side of the score,

Adam Fox scored the go-ahead goal at 11:26 of the third period, J.T. Miller had two goals and the New York Rangers rallied to beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-3.

The Buffalo Sabres capitalized on a five-goal first period in an 8-2 win over the New York Rangers on Saturday night.
