It wasn’t a pretty one, but every point matters. The Senators were outshot 25-12 after two periods, and 32-21 overall, but managed to carry it to overtime.
The opening goal was a beauty. Some great quick passing on the powerplay led to somehow Mike Hoffman of all people being open for the backdoor pass. Mark Stone wasn’t going to miss that pass, and Hoffman wasn’t going to miss on an open net, no matter how sharp the angle.
The second goal of the game came off Ryan Dzingel’s stick.
