Ah, the end of the season. Two non-playoff teams going head-to-head, with nothing on the line besides next year’s contract extensions. This matchup between the Ottawa Senators and New York Rangers felt pure, in a weird way, to see two teams just trying to be better than the other with no real gain or loss no matter the decision. Ottawa proved to be the team on top, snatching the 4-1 win.
The Rangers’ discipline was on the weaker side throughout the game, and it showed early with Vladislav Namestnikov taking a quick penalty for interference.
