After losing to the Canucks by a combined score of 12-2 over the past two games, as well as riding a six-game losing streak seven games into the season, you’d be forgiven for expecting little of the Ottawa Senators entering this game. You also would have been right.
See if this sounds familiar: in the first period, the shots and chances were pretty even, but some questionable goaltending and defending put the Sens down 2-0. Now, see if this sounds familiar: the Sens actually took over the shots and chances, but their lack of finishing ability meant the goals that period were one apiece.
