With their latest acquisition making his debut, the Rangers almost had a full roster for their Thursday night game against the Ottawa Senators, at least for a little while.
First Period:
The Senators went on a powerplay early on an error by the refs, calling Jimmy Vesey for high-sticking our old pal Derick Brassard, when it was really the stick of Austin Watson that bopped the erstwhile Ranger’s face. It kind of worked out though, Mika Zibanejad created a turnover, allowing Adam Fox to spring Chris Kreider for a breakaway against Cam Talbot.
