New York Rangers vs. Ottawa Senators: Current situation
The New York Rangers are off to a great start of the season making a statement that they are still the team to beat in the East. Winning six of the first eight games of the season is nothing short than impressive and the Rangers are the only team in the Eastern Conference with a double-digit positive goal differential. Igor Shesterkin has another excellent start for the Rangers after becoming the fastest goalie in franchise history to reach 100 wins with the team last season.
It’s been seven years since the Ottawa Senators made it to the playoffs for the last time, and based on their start, that drought will not end any time soon. The Senators have a solid young squad that lacks consistency, as they can beat anybody on a good night and then fall apart in the next one. The highlight of the season so far is their 8-7 overtime win over the Los Angeles Kings, which is their highest-scoring game in three years.

Currently, they are in 13th place in the East with a 4-4-0 record and 1-3-0 on the road. They are back on the road in New York after losing the last two of their three-game road trip despite scoring four goals in each of their stops in Colorado and Vegas.

Betting tip and prediction: New York Rangers - Ottawa Senators (01.11.2024)
The New York Rangers are off to another great start of the season, and there is no doubt they will be among the top three teams in the Eastern Conference all season long. It is interesting to note that the Rangers are still undefeated on the road, and their only two losses came at the MSG. The Rangers have been among the top defensive teams in the league for a while now, and that will be a problem even for the offensive potential Ottawa has. The Senators can be labeled as a one-dimensional team as they are completely focused on their offense while being among the worst defensive teams in the league. That approach can be especially self-destructive against teams like the Rangers, who are great in the penalty kill and can absolutely destroy poor defenses. Looking back at the last season, the Rangers scored a total of 11 goals in the last two games against the Senators, and we can expect a similar dominance in this game as well. Artemi Panarin can do anything on the ice and will lead New York to another win that will get the Rangers closer to the top seed in the East.
