The Senators couldn't capitlize on an early lead tonight as the Rangers picked up a 7-2 win.

The game opened Brady Tkachuk and Jakob Chychrun opened the scoring to give the Senators a 2-0 lead. In addition to the pair of early goals Claude Giroux recorded his 700th career NHL assist.

Ottawa's first goal came at 11:43 of the first period when Giroux stole the puck from New York defenseman K’Andre Miller and dropped it for Tkachuk, who skated in and buried it five-hole on Jonathan Quick.

The Rangers started the second period by taking a penalty and Chychrun put away a one-timer pass from Drake Batherson.

From that point of the game the Rangers took control with seven unanswered goals as Artemi Panarin had a goal and two assists, Alexis Lafrenière, Chris Kreider, Jonny Brodzinski and Zac Jones each had a goal and an assist, and Mika Zibanejad had two assists.
