The New York Rangers will look to keep up their recent improved form on Thursday against the Ottawa Senators at the Canadian Tire Centre.
It has been an absolute grind for Mike Sullivan during his first year as the Rangers head coach, but things have finally started to click for the team recently. The Blueshirts have gone 4-1-0 over their last five outings, playing solid defense while scoring a bucketful of goals.
Last time out, the Rangers recorded a rare home win, beating the Dallas Stars 3-2 at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday. Sullivan's Rangers have been the ultimate Jekyll and Hyde team this season in the NHL, sitting tied for the fewest home wins (3) but leading the league in road wins (11).
The Senators have been inconsistent all season and enter Thursday's action following a 2-3-0 run across their last five games. Against the Rangers, Ottawa will attempt to record a second consecutive win for only the fourth time this season.
Travis Green's side started the week with a 5-2 road victory over the Montreal Canadiens. Brady Tkachuk, who recently returned to the lineup from a thumb injury, recorded his second multi-point game of the season with a goal and an assist.

Our New York Rangers vs Ottawa Senators Prediction
The Rangers can look very unconvincing at times, yet their road record is undeniable. For some reason, the team's style of play suits away games better.
Even with Tkachuk back in the lineup, the Senators are struggling to win consistently. They could have a tough time getting going on Thursday night, having just finished a seven-game road trip. Meanwhile, the Rangers are carrying positive momentum and will be confident of another good result at the Canadian Tire Centre.
Our prediction for New York Rangers vs. Ottawa Senators: Rangers to win.
