NEW YORK (Ticker) -- The Ottawa Senators are the EasternConference champions. Nearly eight months from now the New YorkRangers hope to unseat them, but in the first two weeks of theyoung season the Senators appear to have the upper hand.

For the second time in eight days, the Senators knocked off theRangers as they scored three times in a span of 52 secondsduring the second period and got 35 saves from Martin Gerber ina 3-1 victory Saturday night at Madison Square Garden.

Dany Heatley scored a power-play goal, defenseman Chris Phillipsalso tallied and Patrick Eaves capped the outburst for theSenators, who including their 7-0-0 preseason have won 13 of 14games.


One of those wins took place in Ottawa a week ago where theSenators blanked the Rangers, 2-0, when Gerber made 35 saves andDaniel Alfredsson and Andrej Meszaros scored 53 seconds apartin the opening period.


Looking to rebound from Thursday's 5-3 loss to the CarolinaHurricanes, Ottawa had 10 of the first 14 shots of the game. Theonly thing that stood in their way were some outstanding savesby New York goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, who stopped 15 shots inthe first period and the first 20 Ottawa shots.


Ottawa finally broke through and did so quickly. The flurrystarted shortly after Chris Drury took a delay of game penaltywhen Heatley converted a nice cross-ice centering feed fromJason Spezza with 11:37 remaining.


Just 17 seconds later, the Senators added to their lead whenPhillips beat Lundqvist to the stick side with a blast from theright faceoff circle. The Senators struck again 35 secondslater when Patrick Eaves forced a giveaway by New Yorkdefenseman Marek Malik just inside the Ottawa blue line andscored on a breakaway, finishing the play with a wrist shot fromthe left circle over Lundqvist.


That set a new franchise record for the fastest three goals. Theprevious mark was set on March 15 against the New YorkIslanders when Spezza, Chris Neil and Dean McAmmond scored in aspan of 76 seconds in the third period.


In the first two meetings, the Senators have outscored theRangers, 5-0. They have won 15 of the last 18 meetings and willface New York two more times in their first 36 games.

Gerber made seven saves in the first, 12 in the second and 13 inthe third. He improved to 6-1-0 lifetime against the Rangersand came within 69 seconds of his ninth career shutout.

Gerber also helped preserve the shutout with six saves during a5-on-3 New York power play that was created when he was calledfor slashing. He made two left pad saves on Brandan Shanahanand outstanding stops on Jaromir Jagr and Scott Gomez.

A night after scoring its' first three power-play goals of theseason, New York was 0-for-6 with the man advantage.

The Rangers finally solved Gerber when Jagr scored off agoalmouth scramble with 1:09 remaining. It was his first of theseason and 100th as a Ranger.

"We've played well against them," Heatley said. "We knowthey're a very good team, especially with the additions theymade in the summertime. They're a very offensive team and Ithink in the two games we've played against them, we've playedvery responsible."


"The biggest thing is the two wins," Gerber added. "That's themain thing, especially winning on the road against a team likethat. It's always huge for us."


Looking to rebound from Thursday's 5-3 loss to the CarolinaHurricanes, Ottawa had 10 of the first 14 shots of the game. Theonly thing that stood in their way were some outstanding savesby New York goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, who stopped 15 shots inthe first period and the first 20 Ottawa shots.


"I thought the first period was as good as we played on the roadthis year and against the kind of opposition we're playing,"Senators coach John Paddock said. "So I was pleased from startto finish."


"I think the feeling after the first period was just keep doingwhat you're doing," Heatley said. "Eventually we're going tobreak through. It's kind of funny that we scored three thatquickly but we felt that once we got one, more were going tocome and they did."


Ottawa finally broke through and did so quickly. The flurrystarted shortly after Chris Drury took a delay of game penaltywhen Heatley converted a nice cross-ice centering feed fromJason Spezza with 11:37 remaining.

"They're a very skilled team and you always have to respect thespeed and puck control they have up front," Phillips said. "Soto come out with two wins against these guys is a big step forus." "Obviously they have some unbelievable chemistry," Drurysaid. "I think we're frustrated a little bit. We're trying tofind that chemistry."

"I was pretty happy about that," Gerber said. "It was prettymuch a penalty. It shouldn't happen. So I was pretty happyabout it the way we got out of it."


"He was outstanding," Paddock said. "He didn't have to beoutstanding until the Rangers were given every chance in theworld to win the hockey game and then he had to be outstanding."

A night after scoring its' first three power-play goals of theseason, New York was 0-for-7 with the man advantage.

The Rangers finally solved Gerber when Jagr scored off agoalmouth scramble with 1:09 remaining. It was his first of theseason and 100th as a Ranger.


"I know that we do have work to do to catch them to be on thesame plateau that they are," New York coach Tom Renney said."Let's face it, this is pretty early in the season for them tooand they are looking pretty darn good. So we certainly have ourwork cut out for us."
