At first, it was looking like the Ottawa Senators had finally found their groove in tonight’s game against the Vancouver Canucks. Firing twenty-three shots on goal, and allowing only seven in the first period is extremely impressive, and even though the game was tied at one after the period ended, Sens fans couldn’t be upset about their play up to that point.
Some poor rebound control from Marcus Hogberg led to the opening goal by Tyler Motte, and Josh Norris would tie the game on a power-play which looked better than it had in games prior.
Colin White, after back-to-back healthy scratches, was deployed on the team’s second line with Nick Paul and Evgenii Dadonov, and the three were buzzing in the Canucks’ end.
