Either the Ottawa Senators gave fans their money’s worth with 65+ minutes of close hockey against the Florida Panthers or the Ottawa Senators prolonged our collective consternation dragging out a loss for 65+ minutes against the Florida Panthers.
As you may have expected given their respective places in the standings, the Panthers dominated Ottawa in terms of shot volume and quality (see charts below) with the shots closing out at 49-22 after regulation and overtime. Suffice to say, Anton Forsberg played extremely well stopping 46 of 49 (including 43 of 44 at five-on-five) to keep this game close when by all accounts the Panthers should have blown Ottawa out of the water.
