The Senators host the Rangers at Canadian Tire Centre on Saturday, both sides trying to steady themselves after heavy defeats. Ottawa were beaten 2-6 at home by San Jose last time out, three days after dismantling Florida 5-1; New York fell 5-4 in a wild one in Toronto after being shut out 1-0 in Columbus.

Last 8 meetings: Ottawa Senators 3W, 0D, New York Rangers 5W.

The form lines are identical — L-W-L apiece — but the profiles differ: Ottawa swung from a six-goal collapse to a five-goal statement, while the Rangers scored four or more twice yet drew a blank. Whichever defence settles first could shape the night.

Watchlist
  • Ottawa's defensive response after conceding six at home to San Jose — the 5-1 win over Florida showed their ceiling.
  • The Rangers' road rhythm — four goals in Toronto, none in Columbus — and whether their attack travels to Ottawa.
  • The margin: 4 of the last 8 meetings were decided by two goals or fewer.

History leans New York's way overall, though Ottawa own the recent chapters: they have won the last two meetings, including an 8-4 rout in January, but the Rangers took the last game in Ottawa 4-2 in December.
