Eight down, eight to go!
Tonight’s matchup between the Ottawa Senators and New York Rangers came with high stakes. Win, and the Senators move on to the final four. Lose, and the Rangers push a game seven heading back to Ottawa. The Sens came out blazing, taking the game by a score of 4-2, closing out the New York Rangers in six games.
The Senators took control early, with Mike Hoffman putting the team up 1-0 five minutes in. Erik Karlsson took the shot from the point, with the tip by Hoffman fooling Henrik Lundqvist and putting a hush to an ecstatic Madison Square Garden.
