Rangers rally to down Senators 4-3
NEW YORK — Nick Holden has clearly been a valuable addition to the New York Rangers’ defence corps this season. Two goals, including the game-winner, against the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday night proved he could be an offensive hero as well.
Holden scored the go-ahead goal less than 7 minutes into the third period, lifting the Rangers to a comeback 4-3 victory.
Holden’s second goal of the game and sixth of the season came at 6:31 as he wedged the puck past Senators goaltender Mike Condon just 4 seconds after a Rangers’ power play had expired.
“Getting the win the way we did means more to me than scoring two goals,” said Holden, who was acquired by the Rangers from Colorado in a draft-day trade last June. “My game is not scoring. I like to play well defensively. I was just happy with the way the team responded.”
