Just when you thought the stage was set for a New York Rangers rebirth at Madison Square Garden, the Ottawa Senators scored two goals on two shots.

Rangers’ goaltender Antti Raanta would go on to redeem himself and then some though, as he kept the Blueshirts in the game more than a few acrobatic saves.

While Raanta’s performance was a breath of fresh air following the polluted smell that was the first three minutes of the game, Rangers’ center Derek Stepan was the man of the night.

Stepan scored two very important goals which eventually tied the game up in the second period.

Nick Holden was no slouch either, as the Rangers’ defenseman notched two goals, including the game winner.
