No doubt about it, Matt Cooke’s ugly elbow on Ryan McDonagh had a huge impact on this afternoon’s game between the New York Rangers and the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Before that happened, it was a 1-1 game through about two periods and change. After it took place, Chris Kunitz scored a shorthanded goal but the Rangers answered with the game’s next four goals.
If you want to witness all seven goals - including five from that wild third period - then you came to the right place. This video includes every goal from the NBC Game of the Week featuring the Rangers and Penguins.
