Free Ottawa Senators vs. New York Rangers NHL Hockey Prediction:
Nights like last Friday are going to happen every now and then, you can only try to win as many as possible in between the occasions. The Rangers should have no problem getting back on track and getting a win at home here. I look for New York to be aggressive with the puck on offense and taking a lot of shots early. Eventually, something will hit.
