NEW YORK, May 1 (UPI) -- Henrik Lundqvist made 29 saves Thursday for his second career playoff shutout and the New York Rangers kept their season alive with a 3-0 win over Pittsburgh.
The Rangers trail the Penguins 3-1 in their Eastern Conference semifinal series. Pittsburgh will try again to finish off the series and reach the conference finals in Game 5 Sunday on its home ice.
With the Rangers holding a 1-0 lead late in the second period, Lundqvist stopped a breakaway and then turned aside a penalty shot by Evgeni Malkin.
Jaromir Jagr scored the Rangers' first goal at 12:45 of the second on a wrist shot that got past Marc-Andre Fleury, who stopped 31 shots.
After Lundqvist's heroics protected the lead, New York got some insurance 44 seconds into the third period on a power-play goal by Brandon Dubinsky.
Jagr scored again into an empty net with 14 seconds remaining in the game.
Only two teams have overcome 3-0 deficits to win a seven-game playoff series in the NHL and the Penguins were the victims on one of those occasions, when the New York Islanders came back from three games down to eliminate Pittsburgh in 1975.
