The Oilers trounced the Sens 7-2 on the occasion of Eric Gryba's homecoming
Before the game, things seemed mildly positive. Marc Methot was back from injury, in for the continual letdown known as Jared Cowen. After putting up a respectful five goals against a much superior Penguins team, the Senators were looking to take advantage of an Oilers team that was having yet another terrible season. By mid-way through the first, Connor McDavid and Jordan Eberle had made it clear that Ottawa wasn't going to make this a game.
