This night was about redemption for the Senators.
Before the puck was dropped Monday night at the Canadian Tire Centre against the Los Angeles Kings, coach Dave Cameron appealed to his players to show a sense of "pride" and to "compete" after a disgraceful 3-1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens Saturday night to end a 1-3-0 disastrous road trip.
They delivered a big two points with a better effort in both categories and 5-3 victory in front of 17,829.
Though he didn't make any lineup changes, Cameron did make one shift to his lines by flipping centre Kyle Turris to play with Zack Smith and Mark Stone while Mika Zibanejad skated with Mike Hoffman and Bobby Ryan.
