Overview

  • The Ottawa Senators beat the New York Rangers 7-4 on Saturday, Oct. 24, with a late empty-net goal sealing the win.
  • Drake Batherson led the victory with three goals and an assist, finishing as the clear game-changer for Ottawa.
  • Jonas Johansson made his Senators debut and stopped 23 of 27 shots while Jake Sanderson scored the official game-winner and Michael Amadio added an empty-net goal.
  • Rangers goalie Dylan Garand, making his seventh straight start, stopped 18 shots and surrendered five goals for a second straight outing, a trend that coach Mike Sullivan called a sign of a 'loose' performance lacking needed structure.
  • The game featured a wild five-goal second period, saw Ottawa win despite being narrowly outshot 27-25, and leaves the Rangers returning home to face the Los Angeles Kings while the Senators visit Vegas next.
