Although the score on Saturday night looks worse, the Senators played as though they at least kept that game close. Tonight, outside of the third period, when the team was already down by two goals, the Canes looked like a far better team. Thus, it’s no surprise to see another loss in the books — this time, by a score of 4 to 1.
It was a pretty uneventful first period. Valentin Zykov, a player who we’ll mention later, looked dangerous for Carolina, generating a 2-on-1 that he misfired on and followed it up with a shot at the top of the slot that’s smothered by Anderson.
