The game Wednesday between the New York Rangers and Ottawa Senators at Madison Square Garden is one where each team sees an opportunity to take advantage of a struggling opponent.
The Rangers (20-21-6) are on a four-game skid (0-3-1) and sit dead last in the Eastern Conference with the fewest points (46) and worst points percentage (.489) of all 16 teams. However, the Senators (21-19-5) are 3-6-1 in their past 10 games, and lost four in a row before a 2-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks at home Tuesday. Ottawa is one point ahead of New York, with two games in hand.
