In the wake of the Edmonton Oilers and Ottawa Senators both having to survive some embarrassing quotes from upper management, tonight’s game can be dubbed the battle of the NHL’s two most inept front offices. With the Sens already long removed from the playoff picture, it was up to them to play spoilers once again, with Edmonton on their last breath of hope for the post-season. Ottawa managed to hold on, with Brady Tkachuk being the hero in their 4-3 overtime win.
The Sens opened the scoring early, with Tkachuk scoring his 18th goal of the season.
