In a crucial matchup between two Eastern Conference contenders, the Ottawa Senators are set to face off against the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden. The Senators will have goaltender Matt Murray's backup, Mads Søgaard, but the bigger story comes from their lineup, where Logan Thompson is set to make his season debut. Thompson, who was acquired in a trade with the Vegas Golden Knights, is expected to bring a boost to the Senators' goaltending department, which has struggled with consistency this season. As the Senators look to snap their losing skid, they'll face a Rangers team that's been on a hot streak, making for a highly anticipated showdown in the Big Apple.
