I can’t express how different this preview would be had it not been for Brady Tkachuk’s heroics yesterday. There would’ve been comparisons drawn between Alex DeBrincat’s shot and Connor Brown’s, and pining for the return of Chris Tierney and Colin White down the middle. It would’ve been despair itself.
Instead, we get to enjoy the third victory in the last 4 games for the Ottawa Senators, and a fair amount of optimism heading into tonight’s contest against the San Jose Sharks, the second half of Ottawa’s first back-to-back this season.
Speaking of which, it feels like they intentionally made the schedule as inefficient as possible.
