The New York Rangers acquired young forward Brendan Brisson in a trade with the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday. The 23-year-old has some rather unique ties to Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby.

Tanner Pearson had a goal and an assist, while Ivan Barbashev and Brandon Saad also scored for the Golden Knights, who have won four straight. Alex Nedeljkovic stopped 23 shots for the Penguins, who lost their fourth straight and have dropped eight of their last nine.
