NEW YORK -- The New York Rangers will be facing elimination on Tuesday night, but coach Alain Vigneault is viewing Game 6 against the Ottawa Senators as something different.
"This is going to be an opportunity for our team to respond and to play a strong game in a pressure situation," Vigneault said Sunday afternoon on a conference call with reporters. "It's normal at this [time of] year to be nervous, there's no doubt our guys are nervous, but you've got to control your emotions and you've got to focus on what you need to do on the ice.
