Carl Hagelin scored the game-winner in overtime as the New York Rangers advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals with a 2-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 5 on Friday night.

The Rangers won the series 4-1, earning all four wins by a 2-1 margin.

Star Performer: Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist stopped 37 of 38 shots, including five saves in the extra frame.

Turning Point: Hagelin's goal came midway through the overtime period, as he slipped a wrist shot past Penguins netminder Marc-Andre Fleury.

Goalie Comparison: It was a goaltending clinic by Lundqvist and Fleury, and the Penguins goaltender can't be faulted for the loss.

Top Highlight: Derek Stepan opened the scoring early in the first period after grabbing a rebound in front of Fleury.

Stat of the Night: Hagelin's goal was the first series-winner in overtime since Adam Graves eliminated the New Jersey Devils in 1997, and the first at home since Stephane Matteau's double-overtime winner against the Devils in 1994, according to NBC Sports' Kenny Albert.
