It may have been a problem for the tank effort, but it sure was fun watching the Senators play well and earn a victory. It was a fun game against the Vegas Golden Knights, and somehow Alexandre Burrows, newly back from suspension, netted the winner in a back-and-forth 5-4 win. I’ve also worked as hard as possible to avoid making any gambling references in this recap.
Yet again, the Senators allowed the first goal of the game. Yet again, it was in the first minute of the game. Cody Ceci and Ben Harpur were on the ice for a bad giveaway, and they got absolutely walked by the William Karlsson — Jonathan Marchesseault — Reilly Smith line.
