First Period


The opening period saw both teams coming out strong. The Sens managed to get on the scoreboard first with an impressive powerplay goal, showcasing their special teams' capability. However, the Rangers responded swiftly and decisively by netting two goals of their own, setting an early tone for what would be an intense matchup.


Second Period


As play resumed in the second period, defense became crucial for both sides. Despite several attempts from Ottawa's forwards like Tim Stutzle and Drake Batherson to break through New York's defensive line, it was Artemi Panarin of the Blueshirts who found success. His goal extended New York’s lead and highlighted his offensive prowess throughout this segment of play.

Third Period


Entering into the final period trailing by two goals, Ottawa needed a spark to reignite their chances. Jake Sanderson stepped up for his team by assisting on another powerplay goal that brought them within striking distance of leveling things up again. Yet despite these efforts from key players such as Dylan Cozens who also contributed significantly during this stretch - including scoring one of those crucial goals - Igor Shesterkin stood tall between pipes for New York making critical saves when it mattered most.
