In a surprising twist, last night, the New York Rangers, who have been struggling this season, beat the Ottawa Senators, one of the hottest teams in the League in the past month, by a whopping 5-0 score.

For most of the evening, the game was tightly disputed, until Matt Rempe scored a key goal, the third of his team, early in the third period.

After the hit, a big scrum emerged, and Shesterkin didn't shy away from getting involved and going after Tkachuk.
