The Ottawa Senators were in Calgary today, looking to avoid losing their fourth straight game. They were unable to do so as despite a decent effort from the whole team, particularly Marcus Hogberg, they were beaten by the Calgary Flames on the second game of a five-game road trip.
Both teams came out strong in the 1st; Ottawa was the first team to get sustained offensive zone pressure, before the Flames came back with some of their own. During the 1st half of the period, the Senators did very well to slow down the Flames through the neutral zone, turning the puck back the other way several times.
