All the New York Rangers needed was some home cooking.
New York evened its series with the Ottawa Senators at two games apiece with a 4-1 victory in Game 4 at Madison Square Garden. The home team has prevailed in every game of the series, and the Rangers are now two wins away from reaching the Eastern Conference Final for the third time in four years.
Oscar Lindberg scored two goals in the second period after Nick Holden found the back of the net in the first. Chris Kreider added a power-play goal in the third.
Despite New York's offensive onslaught, veteran goaltender Henrik Lundqvist was the story.
