I would throw this game out. Rangers have been playing much better defensively and it just looked like one of those games that was a no show for the Senators. I don't think it's emblametic of anything more. Unless it comes a trend.

Ottawa is good, the fundamentals of their team are super strong and they will make the playoffs.
Their Achilles heel is their offense goes dry for longish spells and they are a team that struggles to get 2 goal leads - bonus is they are good at playing close games they are patient and detailed but they also lose games they should win because they can’t open up 2 or 3 goal leads. They’ve played about 5 games this year they clearly deserved to win but couldn’t build up a big enough lead or break a tie and it cost them about 5-10 points, they aren’t better then their record indicates but they are a team that when they score they are as good as any team in the league

I’m not worried because the last two back to back games were the teams focus and I think they skated hard all weekend and were clearly tired vs NYR - but I have a small concern they are in a dead legs period of their schedule (kinda like a pitcher who has a dead arm) and the schedule before the break is very gruelling. Have seen them leak oil the last couple of games
