Afternoon Delight

This afternoon the New York Rangers (14-9-2) take on the struggling Ottawa Senators (16-6-2). The Rangers are coming off one of their best efforts of the year in a 4-2 win against the rival Islanders. The Senators will try to snap a five-game skid while continuing their scoreless string over the Rangers at Scotiabank Place, where the teams will meet on Saturday. New York has been shut out in each of its last two visits to Ottawa, including a 2-0 defeat on Oct. 6 as Martin Gerber stopped all 35 shots he faced. Since February 2003, the Senators have outscored the Rangers 32-12 at home en route to an 8-1-0 record. For a full recap go to Yahoo! Sports.

...the Rangers better not be too overconfident going into this game as they will be taking on an Ottawa Senators team looking for anything to get them out of this funk.

...looking for another strong game from Drury. Looks like he has finally gotten comfortable in New York and his play of late shows.

...a little nervous with Malik coming back tonight especially against the offensive fire power of the Senators.

...besides Malik, I'm assuming the lineup will be the same. Why mess with success?
