Ottawa at New York

The New York Rangers finished the regualr season atop the NHL Eastern Conference standings with an impressive 209 points and many thought this would be a very short series, but the Ottawa Senators have proven otherwise. Ottawa closed the regular season at just 7-10 in their last 17 games and looked to be an easy mark here, but have been anything but. They have won two of the last three after stumbling in the opener and have looked like the better team. Ottawa has looked impressive in games they should not win and have established themselves as a valued team collecting the cash in 10 of their last 14 as an underdog. The Rangers quarterfinals round struggles continue now just 3-9 in their last 12. Play on Ottawa.
