The Sens have been blessed with a schedule that makes no sense. However, everyone knows scheduling is never an excuse for performance and the Sens made sure to brush that theory off tonight. The Islanders are on a 9-game winning streak and look to be the team to beat lately.
The Sens started off the game with energy and were looking like they would build off the win against the New York Rangers. Jean Gabriel Pageau started things off with a shorthanded goal to give the Sens the lead. Extend the man already. Shortly after, Cal Clutterbuck scores the equalizer and the period continues with some good chances on both sides with a slight edge to the Islanders in the shots department.
