Looking at the New York Rangers' recent loss to the Washington Capitals and upcoming schedule

Tonight's game between the New York Rangers and Ottawa Senators will see the New York team look to get back in the win column after a loss to the Washington Capitals earlier in the week.

After a hot start to the year that saw them win four of their first five games, with their lone loss coming to the Utah Hockey Club, the Rangers have since gone just 2-2. Currently, the team has a record of 6-2-1 that sees it sitting in fourth place in the Metropolitan Division with 13 points.

The division is currently led by the New Jersey Devils, who have played an additional four games so far this season, while the Capitals and the Hurricanes are tied for second with 7-2-0 records that see them holding onto 14 points.

Following Friday's game against the Senators, the team will be back in action on Sunday when they face the New York Islanders in the second of three straight home games.
