    Ottawa Senators vs NY Rangers Game 5

    My Team's Next Match

    It was a repeat performance from game 3. The Rangers took the Sens to the town from the get-go constantly pushing the Sens back by capitalizing on giveaways and winning puck battles on the boards. Oscar Lindberg stepped up and scored a pair of goals chasing Ottawa goalie Craig Anderson to the bench. Tensions got high as several Sens began to lose their cool as the team leader, Erik Karlsson went down and pushed the Sens to the brink. As Ottawa heads home, they'll need to refocus and stay ready even if their best offensive talent is doubtful.

    Series: Tied 2-2

    New York Rangers

    The Rangers took care of business the way they have always done in the regular season and in the first round: by beating the opposition with four lines that can score as Henrik Lundqvist protected the net like a near-unbreakable wall. They outshot the Sens and played better despite surrendering the pucks more. When returning to Ottawa, they'll need to maintain the same scoring efficiency in a hostile environment against a team on the edge. They can dish damage but they'll need to learn to stay composed when the Sens start dishing it back. 

    Ottawa Senators

    In a series that has been all about momentum swings, the Senators find themselves on the wrong end. Not only did they get blown out of their second straight game, but they may have lost their best player and team captain, Karlsson. The Sens have gotten this far thanks to clutch performances not only from Karlsson but from the likes of Jean-Gabriel Pageau and Bobby Ryan and they'll need to step up even more as well as others. Anderson just couldn't get in rhythm in game 4 and will look to match Lundqvist.

    The Winner

    The Ottawa bandwagon hasn't completely crashed but it may be better to wait until money goes against the Sens and if they hit underdog price, they are an opportunistic bet as they will game 5. 

     

    Anderson will be better and odds are against him having three consecutive stinkers while the Sens' offense will be serviceable enough to keep the game within striking range. And if it's a close game heading into the third, money is on the Sens coming up with the clutch play they need to win.
