Andrey SenchenkoSport correspondentAll materialsEmail to the author The New York Rangers beat the Pittsburgh Penguins in the sixth game of the National Hockey League's first round playoff series and made a spectacular comeback. Fans of Pence provoked Igor Shesterkin throughout the game, but the Russian goalkeeper of the Blueshirts played a great match and attributed an elegant assist to 31 saves. After the fifth match of the Pittsburgh-Rangers series, in which the team from New York won an important victory and reduced the gap in the score (2-3), the main topic was the state of health of Sidney Crosby. The Canadian leader of the Penguins in the second period of the last meeting at Madison Square Garden unsuccessfully collided with the defender of the Blueshirts Jacob Truba and was injured. Crosby was able to play two more shifts with damage, but subsequently ended the match ahead of schedule: he missed the third 20-minute, and his team missed the victory. Opinions are divided about whether Truba intentionally injured the Pittsburgh star forward. For example, Anna Kasterova, the wife of the Russian Penguins superscorer Evgeny Malkin, spoke briefly and unequivocally in her Telegram channel: “When you can’t beat in class.” In the NHL, after analyzing the episode, they decided not to punish the Rangers defender. Indeed, what happened to Crosby is just an accident. Truba did not even perform a power hold, but went to the selection of the puck, while the Canadian unsuccessfully “flew” into Jacob.
