While speeding towards the holiday weekend the Senators hosted the Capitals in Ottawa, with the visiting team taking a 3 to 2 victory in overtime.
Here’s Thursday night’s Plus/Minus:
Plus: Darcy Kuemper returned to the lineup (.920 S%), his first game action since December 3rd.
Minus: Three third period penalties (8:00).
More notes on the game:
- Five minutes into the game Alex DeBrincat put the Senators ahead by one. Tipping a puck at shoulder height in the slot his redirection beat Kuemper’s best efforts.
- Two minutes later and Washington responded on their first power play chance.
