Carl Hagelin scored at 2:55 of overtime to send host New York into the All-Star break with wins in 16 of its last 19 games.
Hagelin redirected a turnaround backhand pass from Derek Stepan past Craig Anderson as the Rangers snapped a seven-game home losing streak at the hands of Ottawa. Kevin Hayes and Chris Kreider also scored while Henrik Lundqvist turned aside 33 shots to improve to 14-2-0 in his last 16 appearances.
Captain Erik Karlsson and Milan Michalek scored just over a minute apart in the second period for the Senators, who fell to 13-1-2 in their last 16 in New York. Anderson suffered his first loss at Madison Square Garden (6-0-1) despite making 32 saves.
Hayes corralled a rebound in front and slid a forehand shot around Anderson midway through the second period to open the scoring, but Ottawa forged ahead with two goals in 63 seconds. Kyle Turris set up Karlsson from the right faceoff dot to tie it with 6:22 left in the session.
The Senators went on the power play 54 seconds later and quickly converted as Michalek chipped a rebound past Lundqvist, but New York got the equalizer 2:42 into the third. Blue-liner Marc Staal fed a streaking Kreider, who got behind the defense and beat Anderson to the stick side for his 10th goal of the season and fifth in the last 10 games.
