The Final
New York Rangers 3, Senators 2
How It Happened
The Sens led 2-0 late, Nick Paul and Josh Norris having scored to create some comfort. But the guests got one back on the power play, Matt Murray took a knee to the head and had to leave the game, and Anton Forsberg, coming in cold, allowed two decisive shots past him.
