With tomorrow’s game postponed due to the storm that’s about to rock Ontario, we tuned in tonight to watch Ottawa host Washington for their final game before a short holiday break. The two big storylines heading into tonight were the return of Tim Stützle and Alex Ovechkin chasing yet another level in the race for the league’s historical scoring title.
The game started off with some low energy. Each team exchanged an okay chance here and a mediocre chance there until Alex DeBrincat got his stick on a Nick Holden point shot to give the Sens a somewhat unfamiliar early lead in this one.
