Though their possession game was strong against the Red Wings Monday night, the Senators were unable to keep their win streak alive, losing 5-1 in Motown.
The good news is Guy Boucher’s system seems more prevalent in Ottawa’s play the previous two games. Once the power play gets that first one out of the way, they’re sure to break through, and the other side of the special teams battle looks better every game.
After sitting last night, Craig Anderson will take the crease tonight. Andrew Hammond was anything but stellar against the Red Wings, allowing five goals on 25 shots, so the Senators will look for a bounce-back performance from their goaltending duo.
