It might not have been pretty, but a win is a win and the Ottawa Senators managed to make the most of their opportunities for their first win of the young season.
Although the Toronto Maple Leafs dominated play for much of the game and ended with a 37-24 shot advantage, Ottawa took advantage of Frederik Andersen’s rough night while Craig Anderson stood on his head. At this laughably early point in the season, Ottawa sits tied with the Montreal Canadiens atop the Atlantic Division.
