If the Senators thought Chris Neil had any impact in Game 5, well, the Rangers did not.
The Ottawa tough guy played just 2:26 in his postseason debut Saturday afternoon, his team winning 5-4 in overtime. Neil’s five shifts did not go unnoticed as he tried to fight Tanner Glass early in the first period and then jumped Glass early in the second before being stapled to the bench once he was allowed out of the penalty box.
It was not immediately known if Neil would play again in Game 6 on Tuesday night at the Garden, with the Rangers on the brink of elimination, down in the best-of-seven contest, 3-2.
