Rangers Lose To Sens, Recall Sauer
The Rangers modest three game winning streak is at an end, as well as their four game streak at MSG. The red-hot Senators came in and seemingly just outlasted the Rangers, coming back from a 1-0 deficit to record a 2-1 win and move into 11th in the East. For their part, New York missed an opportunity to jump over the Hurricanes and Penguins into fifth, and remain anchored at 84 points in seventh spot.
It was the fifth win in a row for Ottawa, who are now just seven points out of a playoff spot with ten games remaining on their schedule. While a playoff spot still remains a longshot, their play under new coach Cory Clouston has given them a chance.
