After losing 2-1 to the Vegas Golden Knights in an incredibly frustrating fashion, the Ottawa Senators paid a visit to the St. Louis Blues, currently second in the Central Division, to conclude a five-game road trip in which they had gone 0-4-0 prior to tonight. You just know that head coach D.J. Smith was looking for just as good of an effort and a better result, and the squad was able to clear both of those bars.
Both teams had some fantastic opportunities to get the opening goal. Pavel Buchnevich and Alex Formenton both created 2-on-1 opportunities off of opposing turnovers, but neither one created a shot on goal.
