New York found itself in a desperate situation after two games in this series and responded with two wins on their home ice. Now the Rangers are in an elimination game at Madison Square Garden. The home team has won all five games so far and goalie Henrik Lundqvist always comes up big in this situation as he is 10-1 with a remarkable 1.05 goals-against average. He also boasts a .965 save percentage his last 11 elimination home games. Ottawa came from behind twice in its 6-5 overtime win on Saturday with Kyle Turris scoring the game-winner. Lundqvist had 32 saves after allowing just two goals the previous two games. Ottawa goalie Craig Anderson has given up 16 goals his last four starts and has a 2.53 goals-against average in the playoffs, and .909 save percentage compared to 2.18 and .930 for Lundqvist. New York has won 15 of its last 21 after allowing at least five goals its previous game and the home team has won the last seven meetings going back to the regular season. Play the Rangers.
