NEW YORK — The Senators pulled off their Miracle on 34th St. on Tuesday night.
The Senators have done the unthinkable by sending the New York Rangers packing from the NHL playoffs. Ottawa completed the feat right in the opponent’s backyard with a dramatic 4-2 victory in Game 6 at Madison Square Garden to qualify for the East final for the first time since 2007 with a 4-2 series win.
Nobody expected the Senators to be one of the NHL’s Final Four, but they booked their ticket with a standout two-point effort by captain Erik Karlsson, while Mark Stone and Mike Hoffman also beat New York goalie Henrik Lundqvist.
