New York visits Ottawa for the first game of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Henrik Lundqvist returned to his usual postseason form in New York’s first-round series. His .947 save percentage was the third highest of goaltenders to advance to the second round, and he looked quite unbeatable against Montreal.
On the other side is Erik Karlsson (and his fractured foot) who led the Senators to a round one win. Ottawa’s defense stifled the potent Boston attack, and the Senators will have to be on their toes to counter the Rangers’ breakout style of play.
