The New York Rangers (54-23-4, first in the Metropolitan Division) will host the Ottawa Senators (36-40-4, seventh in the Atlantic Division) in the NHL on Monday at Madison Square Garden.
The Rangers have been one of the best teams in the NHL this season and have the best record in the league.
Artemi Panarin was the star of the show for the Rangers in their franchise-record 54th win on Saturday, as he scored late in the third period to tie game before firing the shootout winner to beat the Islanders 3-2 and move three points clear of the Hurricanes in the Metropolitan Division.
The Senators, meanwhile, put on a great farewell show for their fans in their final home game of the season, with a 5-4 shootout victory over the Montreal Canadiens last Saturday.
