Game 65: New York Rangers @ Ottawa Senators
Hot off a 3-1 victory over the Atlanta Thrashers and winners of 4 of their last 6, the Ottawa Senators face off against the New York Rangers tonight. In goal for the Senators will be Craig Anderson, even though a win tonight is bad for two reasons: (1) with each Senators win, their position in the draft drops, and (2) the Rangers are one of the teams standing in the way of the Leafs making the playoffs. I say the Senators lose this one for the Gipper.
Who will I be watching tonight?
- Bobby Butler: he had an excellent snipe last night against Atlanta, will he be able to do it again tonight?
- Henrik Lundqvist: Lundqvist is a regular Sens Killer when these two teams meet. He's also starting tonight on my fantasy hockey team.
- Colin Greening: Greening got his first NHL goal last night on a lucky deflection. Can he make it two tonight?
- Marek Svatos & Ryan Potulny - neither of these new additions to the Ottawa Senators have points yet with their new team. It would be nice to see them hit the scoresheet.
