Pittsburgh’s Petr Sykora and Marian Hossa scored 20 seconds apart during the comeback. The Rangers lost for the first time in four road games in these playoffs, an unexpected ending after they seized the momentum and, it seemed, control of the game with a 3-0 lead that looked very safe with star Henrik Lundqvist in net. Game 2 is Sunday in Pittsburgh, where the Penguins have yet to lose in three playoff games. Read These Next Trumps ends trade talks with Canada.
