Game Notes:

• Injuries haven’t changed since Wednesday: Jacob Bernard-Docker and Josh Norris  remain out for Ottawa and no injuries(!) for New York.
• Ottawa did well to avoid the penalty box for the most part in the last game. Let’s see if they can make a habit of it. They also played a relatively clean game against the Kings if you recall.
• Ottawa and New York have inverted powerplay results as the Rangers generate more chances but the Sens convert more of theirs. On the penalty kill, the Rangers allow less and stop more.
• At five-on-five, both teams have similar expected goals percentages but Ottawa plays a much higher event style while the Rangers prefer to keep it quiet. Surprisingly, Ottawa has had slightly better even strength goaltending to date but the Rangers have had much better shooting luck than the ice-cold Sens./

Expected and Actual Goals

• Of note with New York’s special teams, Ottawa did well in limiting damage from the Rangers three most dangerous forwards but the Vincent Trochek and Barclay Goodrow lines took care of offence. We’ll see how the matchups look now that the Rangers have last change./
