This week’s Hockey Happy Hour on NBCSN (5-7 p.m. ET) will feature memorable “on this date” games in playoff history.
The Rangers and Penguins clashed in a Game 7 duel that resulted in a 2-1 hard-fought New York win. Brad Richards’ game and series clinching goal propelled New York to the Eastern Conference Final. For the first time in franchise history, the Rangers overcame a 3–1 game deficit to win a seven-game series.
Mike Emrick and Pierre McGuire called Game 7 from Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh, Pa.
During the broadcast, Liam McHugh remembers a pair of thrilling Game 7 overtime contests that occurred on May 13 in 2013 (Maple Leafs vs. Bruins, Round 1) and 2015 (Capitals vs. Rangers, Round 2).
