Well, that was less fun.
Coming off of the heels of a well-deserved Game 1 victory, the Sens were looking to head back to Ottawa with a 2-0 series lead. And due to the final score, it’s easy to rue the day because ‘one shot’ could’ve accomplished this goal. However, if you’d told us before the series that they’d be going home with a 1-1 split -- I think most of us would’ve taken it, and that’s where they are.
Period 1 started off much like Game 1, with the Sens keeping the Pens to the outside while generating more shots (10 – 8 in favour of the folks in white).
