Penguins close out Rangers 5 games with 6-3 rout

PITTSBURGH, Pa. - Mike Sullivan was right. The past is the past for the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Pittsburgh ended its post-season hex against the New York Rangers emphatically Saturday, lighting up Henrik Lundqvist in a remarkably easy 6-3 rout in Game 5 to win the series 4-1 and advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Rookie Bryan Rust scored twice during a four-goal burst in the second period and Matt Murray made 38 saves for the Penguins. Pittsburgh which outscored the Rangers 14-4 over the final three games to gain a measure of revenge after New York ended the Penguins' seasons each of the last two years.

Not this time. Matt Cullen, Carl Hagelin, Conor Sheary and Phil Kessel also scored for the Penguins to end a miserable and brief post-season for Lundqvist, who stopped just 17 of 23 shots and failed to make it to the third period for the third time in the series.
