OTTAWA — The Rangers top forwards have looked at videos, and more importantly in the mirror, and are annoyed with what they see.
After a 2-1 loss to the Senators in the opening game of their second-round Stanley Cup playoff series, Saturday’s Game 2 isn’t exactly gut-check time, but the Blueshirts won’t be winning much more without some goals from players such as Chris Kreider, Kevin Hayes, J.T. Miller, Jimmy Vesey and Derek Stepan. During the regular season, the quintet produced 90 goals.
In seven post-season games, Stepan’s empty-netter from 180 feet away is all those five have to show.
