It’s safe to say this was the Ottawa Senators’ worst performance of the season so far. After snapping a three-game losing streak against Dallas, they had hoped to keep things rolling against Chicago, who’d previously gone 0-7-2. Instead, they ended a losing streak for the second time in a row, falling in an embarrassing fashion.
The game started out well, as the entire team did their job — they worked hard to hold off the Chicago attack, allowing Matt Murray to make the few saves necessary to keep the game scoreless. Despite a rather ineffective power-play early on, they got out to a 12-4 lead in shots.
