Erik Karlsson, Senators Hold Off Rangers to Advance to Eastern Conference Final

The Ottawa Senators are headed to the Eastern Conference Final.

Ottawa completed its second-round series win over the New York Rangers on Tuesday at Madison Square Garden with a 4-2 victory in Game 6. It marked the first time a road team won a game in this series and clinched the Senators' first appearance in the Eastern Conference Final since they lost the 2007 Stanley Cup Final.

Mike Hoffman, Mark Stone, Erik Karlsson and Jean-Gabriel Pageau all scored for the victors, while goals from Mika Zibanejad and Chris Kreider weren't enough to counter for New York.
