Henrik Lundqvist, Rangers hold off Senators to win Game 7
The New York Rangers are likely more relieved than ecstatic now that they have outlasted the pesky Ottawa Senators.
It wasn't easy, and after a home loss in Game 5, it almost wasn't likely. But the Eastern Conference's top-seeded team gutted out a big road win and then made it count on Thursday night when the Rangers held off the Senators 2-1 in Game 7 to advance to the second round.
"You don't want to relax too much" said forward Derek Stepan, who had three points in the Rangers' Game 6 win and then helped set up the opening goal in the clincher. "We have a big round ahead of us and we have to make sure we stay focused and keep that emotion high."
