Entrenched in the Eastern Conference wild-card race, the Rangers are making their push. A 5-0 rout of the Senators on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden extended their season-best point streak to nine games.

The New York Rangers’ 5–0 shutout victory over the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday night was overshadowed by an aborted fight between Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin and Senators captain Brady Tkachuk.

A commitment to defence has been a central theme for the Senators, not just Tkachuk, under new head coach Travis Green. The Senators have the sixth-best goals-against rate in the league, a 180-degree turn from the fifth-worst in the league last season.

Five different Blueshirts, including Matt Rempe, scored, and goalie Igor Shesterkin made 20 saves in posting his second straight shutout as the Rangers blew out the visiting Senators, 5-0, to extend their point streak to nine games (6-0-3) while at the same time pulling within two points of a playoff spot.

The New York Rangers secured a 5–0 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday night, extending their point streak to nine games (6-0-3) without having suffered a regulation loss since Jan. 4. The game featured a strong team performance from the Rangers and from Matt Rempe in particular, who delivered both a goal and a fight in New York's effort.

The CH had to win last night’s game and it can say mission accomplished. The fans had to follow the two other games on the schedule, as two direct competitors of the team were in action: the Senators and the Wings.

The Ottawa Senators will close out their Tuesday contest against the New York Rangers without center Josh Norris, who left late in the first period due to precautionary reasons, reports the Ottawa Sun’s Bruce Garrioch.
