OTTAWA (Ticker) -- The New York Rangers' big names arestarting to stir.


Brendan Shanahan netted two goals and captain Jaromir Jagrscored in his third straight game, leading the Rangers to a 5-2victory over the slumping Ottawa Senators on Saturday.

Marcel Hossa added a pair of assists for New York, whichextended its road points streak to seven games (6-0-1).

"We're playing better, but we caught this team at a time whentheir confidence is not real strong right now," Shanahan said."We didn't want to be the team that helps give any back to them.The way we started the hockey game was important and made a bigdifference in the result."


The Rangers took control early, grabbing a 3-0 lead in the first12 minutes en route to handing the Senators their sixthstraight defeat.


It is Ottawa's longest slide since a seven-game losing streakfrom February 22-March 9, 1996.


Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson was not pleased with theresult, and knows that ending a losing streak is sometimeseasier said than done.


"Everybody realizes we have to pull harder," Alfredsson said."It's tough when you really want to go out there and do a goodjob and we end up being down 2-0 really quick.


"It's always tough when you give another team two, or eventhree, goals. For us, we need to score the first goal and putthe pressure on them. But we've been getting behind a lot, andthat doesn't help."


Counting a pair of shootout defeats, Ottawa has surrendered 28goals during its slump.


Blanked in their last two trips here, the Rangers won for justthe second time in their last 10 visits to the Canadian capital.

From the opening faceoff, the Rangers appeared to have anadvantage over their hosts. New York carried the majority ofthe play in the opening minutes, and it did not take long beforethe Rangers generated results as they scored on their first twoshots.


Defenseman Dan Girardi opened the scoring 3:37 into the game ona slap shot from the right point that managed to get throughtraffic and elude goaltender Martin Gerber.


The Rangers doubled their advantage nearly four minutes later,when Shanahan blasted a one-timer over Gerber's glove aftertaking a feed in the slot from Scott Gomez.


"The start was key," Gomez said. "They're such a powerhouseover there. But each guy did his part, and to get two pointsout of here on a Saturday, we should be pretty happy withourselves right now."


Jagr added a power-play goal at 11:40 to make 3-0, beatingGerber with a wrist shot and sending him to the bench.

The 33-year-old Gerber, who finished with nine saves, has losthis last four games while allowing 17 goals in his last nineperiods.


"There's no doubt about it, it's frustrating," the Swissnetminder said. "Nobody's happy right now. But everyone has tofind a way to push through and get out of it. I can only speakfor my part, and I have to do a better job. I have to find away to get my game back and try to help the team."

Ray Emery replaced Gerber but gave up Shanahan's second goal at9:34 of the second period. Shanahan tipped in Martin Straka'sshot, giving the Rangers a 4-0 cushion.


New York goaltender Henrik Lundqvist lost his shutout bid whendefenseman Joe Corvo scored for the Senators with 5:32 left inthe second period. The Swede finished with 31 saves.

"It was so important that we kept it 3-1 in the second and thenhad a good start in the third," Lundqvist said. "With a goodteam like Ottawa, you can never count them out. We know that,and I thought our guys did a great job containing them."

Dany Heatley scored with 5:58 left in the third before theRangers clinched it with Blair Betts' empty-net goal with 42seconds remaining.


"Hopefully, we can head out on this road trip and get our gameback on track," Heatley said. "It's not so much who we'replaying against, but more how we're playing. I don't think wecare about what has happened in the past. But six losses in arow is something we want to fix."
