The Rangers, on the strength of their penalty kill, edged the Ottawa Senators, 3-0, Sunday night at Madison Square Garden.
Kevin Hayes, Michael Grabner and Mika Zibanejad scored while Henrik Lundqvist built off his strong performance Friday night in Columbus, though this time he was on the right side of the decision, and stopped all 20 shots he faced for his second shutout of the season.
With a 2-0 lead midway through the third and after killing a pair of penalties over the first two periods, New York's penalty kill was relied on again to kill a five-minute major assessed to Brendan Smith, who was also ejected from the game following a hit to Mark Borowiecki 7:32 into the third period.
