NHL: Ottawa 4, New York Rangers 1

OTTAWA, March 8 (UPI) -- Ben Bishop won his second game in as many starts this season Thursday, making 25 saves in bringing the Ottawa Senators a 4-1 win over the New York Rangers.

Bishop -- who saw limited duty in two previous NHL campaigns with Minnesota and Chicago -- was called up by Ottawa for a start against Tampa Bay Tuesday. He gave up three goals in a 7-3 win in that one and he was even more solid against the Rangers.
