The consensus is that without the efforts of Henrik Lundqvist on Monday night, the Rangers could very well be on the wrong end of the 2-1 lead that they currently hold over the Senators.
In Game three Ottawa played as perfect a game as one could hope to play, without coming up with the win. A single goal the difference between victory and defeat, momentum and a panic inducing state in New York City.
It will be that theme that Paul MacLean will have to work with heading into Game 4, reinforcing all of the Senators good work habits of Monday, while seeking that one goal that could make the difference and send the series back to New York tied at 2 wins a piece.
The Ranger, no doubt know that they dodged a bullet on Monday, outplayed and out hustled for the majority of the game, it was their goaltender who saved their backsides in a game that the Sens probably deserved to win.
When you're the front runner, sometimes you need a bit of luck to quell the uprising of the underdogs, the Rangers found some luck on Monday, best not to give the Sens more incentive in game four...
