While some have made a big deal of the team’s losses against Buffalo, Toronto, and Minnesota, tonight’s one against Florida was the kind of game that would get any neutral observer asking questions about the Senators’ ability to compete with their Atlantic Division rivals this season.
Anton Forsberg gave up four goals but was still the team’s first star of the night, turning aside 52 of 56 shots against as the Senators tied a dubious franchise record for shots against with 57 — the other game being in December 2015 against the Canadiens.
