For about 41 minutes, it looked like one of the Ottawa Senators’ worst performances of the season.
Falling behind 5-0 to the Vancouver Canucks, it appeared as if it was all over but the crying. But a furious rally, led by Max Verroneau and Brady Tkachuk brought the Senators to within a goal.
Despite the drama, it would be the Canucks that finished the game off, scoring a late goal and adding an empty-netter to beat the Senators 7-4.
To start the game, the Senators looked relatively solid. They struggled to establish much time on attack in the Vancouver zone, but they weren’t playing the whole period in their end either.
