The New York Rangers defeated the Ottawa Senators 2-1, with Artemi Panarin and Alexis Lafreniere scoring early and late in the game, respectively. Igor Shesterkin was instrumental in the victory, stopping 40 shots, including key saves against high-scoring opponents like Claude Giroux and Josh Norris. Adam Gaudette scored the Senators' only goal, but despite outshooting the Rangers 41-18, they couldn't overcome Shesterkin's performance. The game showcased an intense battle, with both teams struggling on special teams; the Senators failed to convert on three power plays. This loss marks a tough start to November for Ottawa, a month historically challenging for them. The Senators look to rebound as they host the Seattle Kraken next.
