It’s been a while since the Ottawa Senators have lost a hockey game, unless of course you count their recent intrasquad scrimmage in which they lost to themselves.
Following back-to-back victories against Montreal’s rookies, the club began the 2021-22 NHL preseason with a well-earned 3-2 overtime victory (plus a shootout win to boot) against the Winnipeg Jets. Tonight, it’s a tilt against the perennial regular-season juggernauts, the Toronto Maple Leafs, who split their first two games with Montreal, the most recent being a 5-2 loss.
Today’s roster, while featuring a completely different set of players than what we saw in Winnipeg, follows the same formula of mixing players from both the NHL and the lower leagues.
