After falling 3-2 in overtime to the Boston Bruins yesterday, the Ottawa Senators were hoping to bounce back against another tough opponent in the New York Rangers, who came into today’s game 31-13-5, good for third in the Metropolitan Division. Another strong effort from a depleted squad was for naught as they fell by a 2-1 score.
Tim Stützle was eager to make an impact after being screwed over in the team’s last outing against the Rangers, as just under five minutes in, a turnover forced by the pairing of Nick Holden and Nikita Zaitsev created a 2-on-1.
