Sloppy defensive play costs the Senators; lose 4th game in a row 4-1

Yikes. Dave Cameron isn't going to like that game very much.

You'd think after going through the same thing against New Jersey earlier in the week, the Senators would know that you have to play 60 full minutes of tight hockey to win in this league. Instead, we saw the same script unfold: a great performance for 55 minutes, a little bit of bad luck, and a full defensive breakdown for five minutes. Again, that's all it takes to lose in this league.

Now, the Senators did have a depleted lineup going into the game, with two top-six forwards and one top-four defenseman out.
