Listen, Dylan Larkin is out tonight, we just played an overtime game against a different division rival, and the Ottawa Senators are annoying jerks who started this game sitting in dead last in the league. Can you spell recipe for disaster?
Ottawa’s first good chance on the night came from a real dumb turnover as Frans Nielsen sent the puck back to Thomas Vanek at the blueline, whose pass attempt to Jonathan Ericsson was intercepted by Colin White. White’s shot went wide of Jonathan Bernier at the other end.
