Coming into the game, the Senators ranked last in the league in terms of shots against, and the Red Wings ranked last in the league in terms of shots for. You knew something was going to have to give, but unfortunately for the Senators, it didn't go their way. Another game with 30+ shots against, especially against a division rival and also-mediocre team in the Red Wings may cost them in April. But hey, given the score entering the third, at least they got a point.
First Period
The game started off with really good shifts in succession by both teams.
