Igor Shesterkin led the New York Rangers to a commanding 5-0 victory over the Ottawa Senators, recording 20 saves for his third shutout of the season. Alexis Lafreniere opened the scoring with his 13th goal, followed by contributions from Arthur Kaliyev, Matt Rempe, Artemi Panarin, and Will Cuylle, solidifying the Rangers' impressive home record. The Rangers' defense, led by Adam Fox, played a crucial role, with Fox moving up in franchise history for points by a defenseman. The Senators' goalie Leevi Merilainen was replaced after two periods, unable to contain the Rangers' offensive onslaught.

With this win, the Rangers improved their post-January record to 7-1-3, marking their third consecutive home victory. The Senators, who had previously gone 5-0-1 in their last six games, faced their first regulation loss since January 9. Rempe's goal was especially notable as it marked his first of the season after a suspension.
