Coming off a nice win against the Panthers, the Sens were hoping to revive some of the excitement with the first of a home and home series against the Islanders. While it’s getting harder to watch games (I skipped a few), it’s still worth watching players like Tkachuk, Chabot and new phenom Gibbons on most nights.
The Sens came out with a good first period; they were speedy and looking to match the Isles intensity. The mistakes were visible, but you could tell the team was collectively trying to recover, and for the most part, it was working.
