The Rangers are back for the first time in two weeks days (ok, it’s two weeks for me) as they head to Ottawa to take on some of their tanking competition in the Senators. The Sens are currently one point ahead of the Rangers with three games in hand, but have much better underlying numbers. The Rangers had been riding ridiculous goaltending for a while, but that came back to Earth in epic fashion.
The Sens are without Bobby Ryan, who left the team for personal reasons. The Rangers are still without Mika Zibanejad, who didn’t make the trip. Tim Gettinger will get his second look with the club as well.
