Star Wars Day at the Canadian Tire Centre. A battle between the forces of good and Jordan Binnington.
The St. Louis Blues were coming to Ottawa without Vladimir Tarasenko, Ryan O’Reilly, and Noel Acciari as they began to dismantle their championship core. It was a good chance for the Senators to bounce back at home after a disappointing overtime loss on Friday to the NHL’s-worst Chicago Blackhawks.
The Ottawa Senators began a bit slow out of the gate, and the Blues' four shots on an early powerplay made it seem like they were going to take the lead.
