Stepan 'ashamed' by his play in series loss to Senators

The New York Rangers will spend the rest of the postseason on the sidelines, and forward Derek Stepan was quick to criticize his own play in the second-round loss to the Ottawa Senators.

"Individually, I'm disappointed and ashamed and flat out embarrassed," Stepan told Dan Rosen of NHL.com after the Game 6 defeat. "It kills me that I was not able to find my game."
