While the weather outside was frightful for the announced crowd of 15,893 Tuesday night at the Canadian Tire Centre, the Senators at least made it worth their while for those who made the trek as Bobby Ryan scored the winner to stop a three-game losing skid in a 2-1 shootout victory over the Buffalo Sabres.
It was certainly a night to remember for a couple of Binghamton callups. Winger Ryan Dzingel scored his first NHL goal while Nick Paul, brought up because Mika Zibanejad missed practice with an illness Monday, suited up for his first NHL game.
