2 quick takeaways from Senators' 2-1 loss against Rangers at MSG

1. Senators couldn't solve the Rangers' defense and got "goalied"

The Senators' offense was spectacular for the month of October with scoring 25 goals in the final five games of the month, and scoring eight goals in a game twice.

Heading into their game against the Rangers, the Senators were facing a challenge going up against a tough defense and arguably the best goaltender in the NHL, Igor Shesterkin. Even with facing a top defense and goaltender, the Senators weren't afraid, but couldn't carry their offensive momentum from October into the first game of November.

Even with firing from all different angels, the Senators only scored one goal and Shesterkin made 40 saves against the Senators. Adam Gaudette scored his fifth goal of the season to break up the shutout with 7:32 remaining in regulation to make the deficit 2-1, but the Senators couldn't follow up with another goal to tie the game.

The Rangers defense held the Senators, who came into the game with the second best powerplay in the NHL to 0-of-5 and finished the game with 22 blocked shots. Claude Giroux had his seven-game point streak snapped and was robbed big late in the second period by Shesterkin.

The Senators will be back in action tomorrow night as they close out their first back-to-back of the season as they host the Seattle Kraken at Canadian Tire Centre. Puck drop for the game is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. The Senators and Kraken split the season series last season with both teams winning their game at home.
