James Reimer kept expecting the New York Rangers to put shots on net.
And by the end of the game Monday night, the Ottawa Senators had allowed just nine shots on goal in a 2-1 victory at Madison Square Garden. It was the fewest shots against in franchise history, the Rangers’ lowest output since 1955 — and the worst by any NHL team in more than two decades, predating the salary cap.
The Senators became the first team since the salary-cap era began in 2005-06 to hold an opponent under 10 shots. New Jersey allowed Washington to put only nine on net on Dec. 4, 2003.
