Center Derek Stepan scored a goal and assisted on two to lead the New York Rangers to a 3-2 triumph against the Senators in Ottawa. Both of Stepan's assists led to goals by the red-hot Marian Gaborik, who notched his eighth and ninth goals of the season. Stepan's goal was his third of the season and his assists were his sixth and seventh. Stepan's fantasy value is increasing rapidly, and Rangers coach John Tortorella recently said Stepan would see an increase in ice time because of his playmaking ability. The Senators opened and closed the scoring, with Milan Michalek notching his 10th of the season and Nick Foligno recording his fourth.
