The game between the New York Rangers vs. Ottawa Senators at Madison Square Garden saw a familiar face lit up the jumbotron. This brought smiles to fans' faces - 7-year-old Christian, aka "The Rizzler," flashing his signature "Rizz face" to the delight of the crowd.

In 2023, Christian became a sensation under the pseudonym "The Rizzler" after a video circulated showing him energetically sprint around dressed as the Black Panther.
Since then, Christian's outgoing personality and funny facial expressions have earned him the nickname "The Rizzler" (a play on the slang term "rizz," meaning charisma or charm). He's built up a significant social media following, especially among young sports fans.
When Christian was shown on the big screen during a break in play at last night's Rangers game, he immediately broke into his famous “Rizz face.” The crowd cheered for him. It was a lighthearted moment that brought some bonus entertainment to the tense game.
The New York Rangers ended up defeating the Ottawa Senators 2-1, thanks to goals from Alexis Lafreniere and Artemi Panarin. Adam Gaudette scored for the Senators. Igor Shesterkin stopped 40 shots while Linus Ullmark made 16 saves in the loss.
