OTTAWA, ON – For the second straight game the Ottawa Senators learned they can ill afford to sit back on a lead.

Saturday night the Senators had a solid start only to see it slip away along with the game as they fell 6-3 to the Chicago Blackhawks.

The Blackhawks (22-30-8) were led by veterans Jonathan Toews, who scored twice, and Patrick Kane, who picked up three assists. Caleb Jones also scored twice with Sam Lafferty and Dylan Strome rounding out the scoring.

Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 20 shots, while Jake McCabe and Seth Jones chipped in with two helpers each.

Connor Brown, Thomas Chabot and Nick Paul scored for the Senators (21-32-5), as Anton Forsberg made 22 saves.

The Senators had a solid start to the first period jumping out to a 2-0 lead, but there was a pall to the opening 20 minutes following a Parker Kelly hit in the opening minutes.

Kelly lined up Connor Murphy along the boards and the Blackhawks defenceman turned at the last moment and slumped to the ice following the hit. He had to be stretchered off. Kelly was assessed a five-minute major and game misconduct on the play.

Murphy did not go to the hospital and is able to travel home with the team.

“Obviously a real unfortunate start, but I heard he didn’t have to go the hospital which is good,” said Senators coach D.J. Smith. “We get the kill, we have a great first period, we score two goals and obviously we, for some reason, laid off just a bit and they probably went to the room and realized their buddy was alright and came out fired up.

“That second period was probably our worst period in a month and in a way they just grinded us and we had no answer for Kane.”

Thursday night the Senators had a 3-0 lead over Seattle and allowed them to come back, but were able to win in overtime.

“It’s a game of hockey, mistakes are gonna happen,” said Chabot. “It’s what the game is, but for us as a group I think, obviously, we want to fix those, we want to eliminate those and obviously you never want to give up the lead. We knew playing this team that a guy like Kane, he can make anything happen at any time.”

Chicago trailed 2-0 to start the second and led 4-3 by the end of it.

There’s no doubt Murphy’s injury affected his teammates in the first 20 minutes.

“It’s really tough when you see your teammate go down, especially a guy like Murphy,” said Caleb Jones. “He’s kind of a heart-and-soul guy. It’s tough to bounce back. I think we just needed to get our feet under us after the first and we just came back in the second and said, ‘You know what, let’s win this one for (Murphy).”

Toews scored twice, with assists from Kane, in the opening three minutes of the period to tie things 2-2.

The first assist allowed Kane to move him into sole possession of the second spot on the Chicago Blackhawks all-time points leaderboard. Kane now has 1,156 points.

“You kind of just realize how crazy that really is, how long (Kane) has been doing what he’s been doing, and the heights he’s reached at this point in his career,” said Toews. “We all know that he’s not done yet, so, it’s pretty incredible for him. He just seems to continue to do it.”

Chicago took the lead midway through the period on Caleb Jones’ third of the season as he buried it far side from inside the face-off circle off a pass from brother Seth.

Seth and Caleb Jones are the first pair of siblings to factor in the same goal for Chicago since Rich and Brent Sutter in 1994.

The Senators managed to tie the game early in the third when Paul won a foot race for the puck at centre ice, then pulled up and used Caleb Jones as a screen to beat Fleury, but eight seconds later Lafferty scored to make it 4-3 Chicago.

“Probably the game for us is when Paul ties it up, gives us the momentum and they turn around on the next face off and they score,” said Smith. “Then we’re chasing the game in the third and we just didn’t play the way we play when we’re winning games.”

Caleb Jones scored his second at 8:55 and Strome rounded out the scoring tipping a Seth Jones point shot at 10:04.

OTTAWA, ON – The Ottawa Senators know it wasn’t pretty, but the only thing that mattered was finding a way to win and they did that Thursday night as they defeated the Seattle Kraken 4-3 in overtime.

With a 3-0 lead going into the third, no one expected this one to need extra time, but a short lapse by the Senators was all the Kraken needed to gain momentum and make a game of their first visit to the nation’s capital.

Josh Norris, playing his 100th career game, scored the winner on the power play after Tim Stutzle was able to draw a tripping penalty in overtime.

Norris also scored the first goal of the game, which ties him with Alexei Yashin for most goals (39) by an Ottawa player in their first 100 career games.

“That’s a cool stat,” admitted Norris. “They’ve put me in great spots since the first day I got here, even when I got called for those three games my first year pro so I’ve had a lot of help along the way and it’s a cool milestone and just want to keep going.”

The Kraken scored three unanswered goals in the third as the Senators seemed to think the game was in hand, and while Senators coach D.J. Smith could smile at the end of the game, things likely would have been different had his team lost.

“As a coach, you’re always aware that it wasn’t a 3-0 game,” said Smith. “The fear is that, and we seen it, we laid off and started making high-end, high-risk plays thinking the game was over, and then we got exactly what we deserve, but credit to us to find a way to win, and we’ll take that, but more importantly it’s a learning lesson.”

Brady Tkachuk and Parker Kelly also scored as Anton Forsberg made 30 saves in what is the first of a five-game homestand for Ottawa, who was coming off a disappointing road trip that saw them go 1-4-0.

“Obviously that can’t happen,” said Tkachuk. “We dug in and found a way to win. Josh said after the game all that matters is winning, right, so it wasn’t pretty, but we’re just gonna learn from those little things that kind of we strayed away from so we’ll learn and we’ll get better because of it.”

The Kraken were happy to steal a point, but know there was no excuse for their play in the first 40 minutes.

“The first two periods are inexcusable,” said Ryan Donato, who scored the Kraken’s second goal. “I think we knew that. The momentum was dead; we needed something. Jared (McCann) had a big goal and once we had that feeling of, `We’re back in this,’ I think a lot of guys felt a lot better about the situation.

“I thought we put in a hell of an effort in the third period. Unfortunately, it ended the way it did, but that’s a testament to our character.”

OTTAWA, ON – Artturi Lehkonen had a pair of goals Saturday night in the Montreal Canadiens’ 2-1 win over the Ottawa Senators to extend their win streak to five games, but everyone was talking about Andrew Hammond.

Hammond stopped 26 shots for the Canadiens in his return to the Canadian Tire Centre after playing 55 games for the Senators between 2014 and 2016. The 34-year-old is best known for his outstanding run to the playoffs in 2015 where he posted a 20-1-2 record.

Hammond was traded to Colorado in 2017 and has been playing in the American Hockey League for the most part until he was traded to Montreal (13-33-7) a couple of weeks ago. Last weekend he played his first game in the NHL in nearly four years.

Fans in Ottawa clearly haven’t forgotten about the “Hamburglar,” as he was known, and threw burgers on the ice following a video tribute.

“I have no animosity or anything like that towards them, but I think it’s natural any time you’re playing your former team, you’d like to win,” said Hammond. “Obviously, very happy that we were able to do that tonight. Just a really, I thought, grinding game by us. You’ve got to win lots of different ways. It was fun to be a part of.

“They came in waves at times, but for the most part I think we kept them to the outside and made my job very easy.”

There are only a couple of Senators left who played with Hammond and Colin White, who scored the lone goal for Ottawa (19-27-5), was one of them.

“It’s great to see him back in the NHL,” said White. “He’s doing great and played a great game.”

It was a momentous evening for White as well, as he made his season debut after suffering a dislocated shoulder in pre-season against Toronto on Oct. 4.

“I felt good, it just felt like another hockey game,” he said. “I was a bit nervous and excited going into it, no nap today, but it felt pretty good to get out there and just playing hockey.

“I just went out there and had fun today and [Connor Brown] made an unreal play and made it a little bit easier for me and it was just super exciting for me to score that.”

Prepare a diabetic diet by seeking buy viagra cheap the help of your doctor. White scored on the power play early in the second period after Brown made a great pass out front.

The Senators found themselves short-handed before the game even started as both Thomas Chabot and Nikita Zaitsev were deemed unable to play just prior to warm-up. It was not COVID-19 related. That left Ottawa playing with just five defencemen.

“When you’ve got five ‘D’ you’ve got to play with a certain set of rules and we had some guys do it and some didn’t and we didn’t give our ‘D’ enough of a breather,” said Senators coach D.J. Smith. “Give them credit because they played hard.”

The win allowed the Canadiens to extend their winning streak to five games. Players seem to be buying into new head coach Martin St. Louis and it’s paying off.

“When you have a new coach, I think you’ll see that early on guys want to show you that they’re a team-first guy,” said St. Louis. “I feel like we’ve gotten better and better and better and we’re doing it consistently now.

“We come to work, take care of the team, play the game the right way. You’re going to be in a lot of games. You don’t know if you’re going to score all the goals or get all the saves, but at the end of the day, you’ve given yourself a really good chance to win if you’ve played that way.”

Montreal opened the scoring late in the first at 16:47 as Lehkonen was able to get the better of Victor Mete in front of the net and grab Ben Chiarot’s rebound for his eighth of the season.

After White’s power-play goal Montreal regained the lead late in the second period as Lehkonen scored his second of the game with a slapshot from the high slot at 14:21.

“We’re trying to stay on top of guys, force other teams to make mistakes,” said Lehkonen. “As of now, we’re getting a bit of swagger. Confidence is a huge thing in this league.”

Ottawa had chances in the third, but just couldn’t find a way to beat Hammond who made some key saves.

“Just give them credit,” said Smith. “Defensively, and five guys back all night, they didn’t give up odd-man rushes and the goalie made the saves when he had to.”

OTTAWA, ON – Thomas Chabot couldn’t have scripted a better game in his return from injury as he scored twice, including the game winner, and picked up an assist in the Ottawa Senators 4-3 win over the Minnesota Wild Tuesday night.

Chabot was back after missing the last four games and hit a career milestone playing in his 300th career game. He’s now the ninth defenceman to play 300 games with the Senators.

“Like I said this morning I think it’s great to be back and obviously 300 games is something special and I take a lot of pride in that,” said Chabot. “Obviously it’s nice to get out here and put a great effort like we did as a team and still stick to it and find a way to win the game.”

Chabot is the Senators workhorse on the back end and on this night, like so many others, led all defencemen playing 24:35.

His absence has been noticeable as he is the stabilizing force on Ottawa’s blue line and there was no denying his immediate impact.

“He’s great, he changes the complexion of our team obviously,” said Brady Tkachuk, who scored a power-play goal. “We know how much he plays and how much he’s out there, but yeah, he’s a difference maker, he took over tonight’s game and won it for us.”

Tim Stutzle also scored, while Anton Forsberg stopped 40 shots.

Kevin Fiala, Jared Spurgeon and Jon Merrill scored for the Wild (31-14-3), who are playing the second of four games on its Canadian road trip. Cam Talbot made 30 saves.

Tuesday’s game wrapped up a stretch of ten games in 16 nights for the Senators (19-26-5). Ottawa is off until Saturday when they host Montreal.

The difference was the start as Ottawa jumped out to a 2-0 first period lead, but also set the tone for the game with a hard, physical presence.

“It’s more frustrating how we started,” admitted Wild head coach Dean Evason. “I mean, full credit to Ottawa. They played hard and right and heavy and smart and aggressive, real aggressive. They took the game away from us early, and we couldn’t catch up until the second period. We started wrong; they started right.”

Things started with Chabot scoring on his second shift of the night beating Talbot with a shot short side and Tkachuk made it 2-0 on the power play late in the period.

It was the Senators first power play goal in four games.

The Wild outshot the Senators 17-8 in the second, but trailed 3-2 after giving up a late goal.

Trailing 2-0, Fiala – coming off the bench – fired a shot from the hash marks to open the scoring for the Wild. He now has 24 points (13 goals, 11 assists) over his last 19 games.

Spurgeon tied the game midway through the period with a shot from the slot, but with just under four minutes remaining in the period Stutzle scored his 12th of the season to make it 3-2 Ottawa. Stutzle has goals in three consecutive games.

Minnesota tied the game 3-3 in the opening minutes of the third as Merrill made the most of a giveaway and fired a wrist shot past Forsberg, but with just over five minutes remaining in regulation Chabot scored his second of the night. The shot fooled Talbot as it went off Calen Addison’s stick.

“You’ve got to play a full 60 minutes to win in this league,” said Merrill. “It’s almost like the hockey gods or someone was on the other side tonight and a couple of bounces went their way and that’s just the way it goes when you’re not playing a full, complete game.”

OTTAWA, ON — The Ottawa Senators weren’t making excuses, but three games in four nights is bound to catch up to anyone.

Ottawa managed to hold its own against the New York Rangers Sunday night, but still fell short in a 2-1 loss.

“The power play is the difference tonight for them, Panarin is one of the best players in the league,” said Senators head coach D.J. Smith. He’s the difference at the end of the day.”

Artemi Panarin’s second-period power-play goal held up as the winner.

He’s a great player, he’s a star player for us,” said Rangers head coach Gerard Gallant. “He makes those great passes and tonight he shoots the puck and buries the winning goal on the power play. He’s a big part of our group and, obviously, when the power play is going like they’re going, and to win another hockey game for us tonight, that’s huge.”

Much of the credit deserves to go to Igor Shesterkin for his 29-save performance Sunday.

Ryan Strome also scored for the Rangers (32-13-5)

“I don’t know if he’s the best goalie in the league, but he’s close,” said Smith of Shesterkin. “You can see it on his play and whatever his record is.”

Shesterkin nearly scored an empty net goal with just over a minute remaining in regulation, but the puck went just wide.

“The sound (from the bench) was getting louder and louder as the puck got closer to the crease,” said Strome. “It’s just a matter of time; he’s going to stick with it. … It’s not just trying to score goals; the plays he makes and the breakout passes are just spectacular. He’s probably a better passer than 75-80 per cent of our team. I think guys would openly admit that, too.”

Filip Gustavsson made 31 saves as he made his first NHL start since Dec.7.

The 23-year-old has split his time this season in Ottawa and AHL Belleville and admitted that at times he’s struggled with the mental side of his game and recently felt like he needed a reset to get back to basics.

“As the game went on I became more confident, of course, like I was a little nervous at the start of the game with some puck touches and some rebounds, but the longer the game progressed, the more confident I felt.”

Smith had no complaints about his goaltender’s performance against an offensively talented team like the Rangers especially considering his team was playing the second half of a back-to-back.

Tim Stutzle was the lone Senator to beat Shesterkin on the night.

With Drake Batherson, Josh Norris and Thomas Chabot sidelined by injury, Stutzle admits he feels the need to take on some additional responsibility, but it’s a role he relishes.

“I think everyone has to step up a little bit here and there,” he said. “I think a lot of guys are doing a really good job playing against one of the best players every night. I want to create most of the offense and D.J. has given me the confidence to put me out there in almost every o-zone draw, so I try to give it back to him when I can.”

Trailing 2-1 in the third, the Senators’ best chance to tie the game came on the power play, but they were unable to beat Shesterkin.

The Rangers outshot the Senators 15-7 in the second and took a 2-1 lead on Panarin’s goal.

The Senators failed to generate much through the first 15 minutes of the second, but finally showed some life in the closing minutes of the period, but didn’t see anything for their effort.

A balanced first period saw the two teams exchange goals.

Stutzle opened the scoring at the four-minute mark as he took advantage of a Rangers turnover and wristed a shot past Shesterkin.

Just over three minutes later Braden Schneider fired a shot from the point. And while it didn’t get through, Strome was able to pick it up and beat Gustavsson for his tenth of the season.

OTTAWA, ON – The Ottawa Senators want to be the St. Louis Blues one day.

Tuesday night the Senators fell 5-2 to the Blues, but saw first-hand what it takes to play the kind of hockey they aspire to.

The Senators players and staff admitted the better team won, but should take solace in the fact that for 50 minutes they held their own, and that’s without a number of key players in the lineup.

“The way they play in the O-zone, they don’t throw pucks away, they hold on, they grind you,” said Senators coach D.J. Smith. “I mean, we do have lots of guys out, but that’s what we want to be, that’s what you want to look for. Two years ago, they win the Stanley Cup playing that exact style and that’s what you want to do.”

Already without top blueliner Thomas Chabot and forwards Josh Norris and Drake Batherson, the Senators (17-25-4) may now also be without Matt Murray.

Murray, who made 27 saves, left the game following the Blues fourth goal as Oskar Sundqvist fell on top of him following his goal.

The 27-year-old has had his share of injuries this season, but had been playing some of his most consistent hockey of late.

No update was available following the game, but the Senators are hopeful it’s nothing serious.

The turning point or failure to capitalize on one came early in the third period when Ottawa failed to score on a five-on-three for 74 seconds. Ottawa’s best chance came as Tim Stützle hit a post.

“The five-on-three’s the game, we knew it,” admitted Smith. [Stützle] hits the post and we had a couple of looks and we just kind of panicked with it. I thought there were some plays there that we could have made and should have made, but we didn’t and you know that’s hockey. I mean if we score there, we get momentum and away we go, but you know at the end of the day, they outplayed us tonight, they were the better team.”

The Blues’ Brayden Schenn extended his point streak to five games (four goals, four assists) with a first-period goal, while Vladimir Tarasenko scored twice and picked up an assist.

Robert Thomas also scored for St. Louis (28-14-5), who were playing the first of a four-game road trip that will see them also take on Montreal, Toronto and Philadelphia. Ville Husso stopped 18 shots in the win.

Stützle and Parker Kelly scored for Ottawa, while Anton Forsberg made four saves in relief.

The Blues gave full credit to its penalty kill knowing how crucial it was to kill the two-man advantage.

It’s a huge credit to those guys. They might not share some spotlights in the media, but inside the team we know it’s insane and makes us proud of our teammates and makes us work hard.”

The Blues wore down the Senators in the third and didn’t allow them to generate any real chances.

“I think it’s good for us to play a team like that to see what it takes,” said Ottawa’s Josh Brown. “They’re a good team, so yeah, it’s a bit of a reality check. It’s great to play teams like that. I think that’s the next step for us as a younger group. We get to see how playing down low, cycling and just hitting guys all over the ice, how that really pays off.

Sundqvist made it 4-2 at the ten-minute mark as he was able to take advantage of a loose puck in the crease, while Tarasenko added an empty-net goal to round out the scoring.

St. Louis made it 2-1 as Tarasenko ripped a shot through traffic on the power play and three minutes later Tarasenko turned provider to feed Thomas, who beat Murray with a wrist shot for his sixth of the season.

“He’s all over the ice,” Thomas said of Tarasenko. “He’s playing the right way defensively, he’s in on the forecheck, he’s always open. He’s a superstar, and when he plays like that, it’s tough for teams to defend.”

Ottawa managed to get back to within one as Kelly tipped an Erik Brannstrom point shot.

Brannstrom took on some additional responsibilities with Chabot out of the lineup and took advantage as he picked up two assists on the night.

“I think he’s got a lot of confidence in his game right now,” said Brown. “He’s making plays all over the ice. He made some really good plays tonight.”

The Blues opened the scoring midway through the first as Schenn grabbed a loose puck after Ryan O’Reilly won the faceoff and fired a puck past an unsuspecting Murray.

Just over three minutes later the Senators tied it as Stützle took a pass from Brady Tkachuk in stride and drove hard to the net and backhanded in a power-play goal for his ninth of the season.

This was the Senators first power play goal in February as they had gone 0-for-14 to that point.

The two teams hadn’t met since Oct. 10, 2019. Tuesday’s game was originally scheduled for Dec. 21 but was postponed when the NHL stopped cross-border games just before the Christmas break.

OTTAWA, ON – After a 6-0 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes Thursday, the Boston Bruins wanted to right the ship early in their game Saturday against the Ottawa Senators.

And they did.

Trent Frederic scored 45 seconds into the game and Curtis Lazar added another first-period goal to account for all the scoring as the Bruins took a 2-0 win over the Senators.

“We were ready to play, we were on our toes and it showed,” said Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy. “Great way to start and probably something we needed. I’m not saying we needed to score on the first shift but we needed to be on time today, be in the game early and build some momentum off of that and obviously we were.

“We were clearly the better team in the first period and the game kind of levelled out after that but we did enough to win the game.”

The victory snapped a two-game losing streak for the Bruins (27-16-3) and marked Jeremy Swayman’s second shutout of the season.

The 23-year-old goalie made 30 saves on Saturday and now has four clean sheets in his NHL career.

At the other end of the ice, Matt Murray made 35 saves as the Senators (16-24-4) were outshot 37-30.

Murray has stopped 77 of the 80 shots he’s faced over the past two games, both 2-0 shutout losses.

Ottawa’s offence has dried up completely in recent outings.

Including their 2-0 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday, the Senators have gone 157 minutes and six seconds without scoring.

I mean, obviously, the first shift they score. They tap one in from a foot in front of our net and that sets us off on the wrong foot. They were coming off a 6-0 loss and they were hungry,” Senators coach DJ Smith explained.

Ottawa’s last goal came three games ago when Chris Tierney gave them a 4-0 lead over the Carolina Hurricanes at 2:54 of the second period.

“We’re six periods without a goal, so you have to get more pucks to the net,” Smith said. “There are guys that score and some are not playing now, and some that are cold that are playing. We need scoring from other areas. A [defenceman] scoring, or a depth forward scoring and that’s not happening right now.”

The Senators had chances in the third on Saturday, outshooting the Bruins 14-9 and playing with Murray on the bench in favour of an extra attacker for most of the final four minutes.

The Bruins were quick out of the gate scoring just 45 seconds into the game as Frederic collected his third of the season. After Murray made a sprawling pad save off Charlie Coyle, Frederic jammed the rebound in from the crease as the goalie tried to find the puck.

The advantage was doubled to 2-0 at 13:26 of the first period when Lazar was the recipient of a fortunate bounce. A rebound off an Anton Blidh shot hit Lazar in the leg and went past Murray for his sixth of the season.

“It think it started yesterday in practice,” Lazar said in reference to the quick start.

“We battled, we competed, we skated and that carried over today. Look at our first shift. We kind of set the tone and that built the game for everyone. I thought we did a good job supporting the puck all over the ice and it was a good solid effort for us.”

The Bruins had 11 shots on goal in the opening five minutes and outshot the Senators 22-8 in the first period.

The Sens tightened up defensively and outshot the Bruins 8-6 in the second, but neither team was able to score.

The Senators are in Washington for a matinee against the Capitals on Sunday while the Bruins are off until Tuesday when they pay a visit to the New York Rangers.

OTTAWA, ON – Matt Murray won two Stanley Cups with the Pittsburgh Penguins, but Thursday he was on the opposite end of their attack as a member of the Ottawa Senators.

Murray made 42 saves but it came in a losing cause, as Casey DeSmith made 26 saves and Jeff Carter scored the game’s winning goal as the Pittsburgh Penguins earned a 2-0 victory.

“They were dialed in on all aspects of the game and a pretty textbook game by them. We battled, we stayed in the game and if we had gotten one it could have gone in either way,” Murray said.

“I know how dangerous offensively those guys are. It was fun playing against those guys.”

Six of those saves by Murray came on Sidney Crosby who was unsuccessful in scoring the 500th goal of his career.

The Penguins captain is trying to become the 46th player in NHL history to reach 500 goals, and the second in Penguins’ history alongside Mario Lemieux.

Carter scored in the second period for the Penguins (29-11-8) while DeSmith collected his second shutout of the season and the eighth of his career. Bryan Rust scored into an empty net.

The Senators (16-23-4) were looking to get their second three-game winning streak of the season.

“It was a pretty solid 60 minutes throughout the lineup. They’re a good team, they play fast, they’re a skilled team and they got some chances,” Carter said.

“Case made some big saves for us, but I think it was probably our most complete game in a long time.”

The teams went into the final period with the Penguins clinging to a 1-0 lead, and they controlled most of the period limiting the Senators to just five shots as they searched for the tying goal.

They had chances with Murray on the bench in the final seconds, but Rust scored into an empty net at 19:48 to seal the win for the Penguins.

“I was fortunate to make some saves tonight and everyone in front of me did the rest,” DeSmith said.

“We did a good job taking care of the net front and there were very few shots I had trouble picking up. It’s always a good feeling as a goalie when you’re seeing everything. It definitely builds some confidence.”

The game was scoreless through the opening despite a flurry of chances from both sides in the early going.

That trend continued into and throughout the second period as both teams combined for 46 shots but just one goal after two.

“I don’t think it was bad by any means. It was a tight checking affair. They didn’t give us a ton. That’s a real good, veteran hockey team, they stayed in front of their net. If anything, I think we could have done a better job getting at their goalie and creating some loose pucks,” Senators forward Austin Watson said.

“Other than that, Murray was great and you want to get that one for him. He was outstanding.”

The game’s first goal game at 7:25 when Carter took a cross-ice pass from Kris Letang and deposited a shot over Murray’s blocker and into the Ottawa goal.

Minutes later Carter had another tremendous chance on a short-handed breakaway but was unable to beat Murray who slid to his left and took away Carter’s backhand to forehand attempt at the post.

“I was trying to wait him out. I should try a new move because it hasn’t been working out the last few times,” Carter joked.

The Senators will conclude their four-game homestand Saturday when the host the Boston Bruins. The Penguins will face the Devils in New Jersey Sunday.

OTTAWA, ON – The Ottawa Senators know they weren’t at their best Monday night, but thankfully Matt Murray was.

The Senators goaltender stopped 32 shots in a 4-1 win over the New Jersey Devils where there was little doubt about who was the best player on the night.

“I think he’s the reason we won that game,” said Nick Holden, whose second-period goal held up as the winner. “The first two periods, I don’t think we played very good. We gave them a lot of opportunities, but (Murray) was there to shut the door to make sure we had the lead and kept it.”

Monday’s game marked the halfway mark for the Senators and in order for them to move forward, they will need more such efforts from Murray.

The week will be a busy one for the Senators with five games in seven nights. It also marked the start of a four-game homestand, although the Senators remain restricted to just 500 fans in Canadian Tire Centre.

That being said, being able to get the week off with a win was beneficial.

“To get a win in the first game, especially on the back-to-back, it’s nice,” said Holden. “I think our focus is just like I said about playing consistently. Sometimes it’s not always about wins and losses for us just because we need to make sure that we’re building that as a team. That consistent night after night after night, same game and so on. Obviously to get a win and I think for morale that helps going into tomorrow.”

The Senators host the Carolina Hurricanes Tuesday night, who lost 4-3 in overtime to Toronto, who would likely make life a little more difficult if they give up as many chances.

“We’ll have to rewatch it because I thought we turned a lot of pucks over and gave them a lot of chances, but (Murray) was there at every turn,” said Senators head coach D.J. Smith.

Nick Paul, Adam Gaudette and Connor Brown also scored for the Senators (15-22-4).

The Devils (15-26-5) losing streak is now at seven games (0-7-0).

Nico Hischier scored New Jersey’s lone goal as Nico Daws made 20 saves in the losing effort.

The Devils didn’t play poorly but just couldn’t capitalize on their chances and Murray made things difficult.

“[We] got off to a great start, scored on a power-play goal, didn’t give up a lot for 40 minutes,” said Devils head coach Lindy Ruff. “But we left some chances out there and I’ve said this before, we have to score more than one goal.”

Monday’s game marked the return of Brown, Dylan Gambrell and Nikita Zaitsev, who had all been sidelined by injury, while the Devils were without Jack Hughes as he was placed in COVID-19 protocol following his participation at the all-star game.

Brown, who is playing with a broken jaw, returned after missing ten games and scored midway through the third to make it 4-1.

The Devils had ten shots in the third, but just couldn’t find the back of the net.

“Nobody wants to be where we are,” said Hischier. “It’s on us. Nobody is going to do it for us. If you’re not going to dig in, it’s not going to get better.

“These little things we talk about before the games we don’t execute. These cost us goals and we just have to be harder in front of the net. We had good chances to score goals, but we (didn’t) score these dirty goals … we have to be better, it’s simply not good enough.”

With the game tied 1-1 the Devils got off to a solid start in the second, but couldn’t find a way past the Senators’ netminder.

The Senators took a two-goal lead, scoring twice in a span of nine seconds late in the period to take control.

Holden, who now has goals in back-to-back games, gave the Senators the lead as he beat Daws through traffic and seconds later Gaudette skated in off the faceoff and fired the puck blocker side to make it 3-1.

The game got off to a slow start, but it was the Devils who opened the scoring at the 11-minute mark with a power-play goal as Hischier deflected a Jesper Bratt shot.

Paul tied things up five minutes later as he took a feed in front and paused a moment to settle the puck, which seemed to throw Daws off.

OTTAWA, ON – The last thing the Ottawa Senators want to see is Tim Stutzle fighting, but on this night the young centre will be forgiven after scoring a highlight reel goal in overtime to lead his team to a 3-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers.

With 37.6 seconds remaining in overtime Stutzle put the puck to the top corner to beat Mikko Koskinen.

“I actually tried to see if (Thomas Chabot) was open, but then I’m like I saw the little spot up there and just tried it shoot it and it went in.”

It was an impressive outing for the 20-year-old who created energy all night long, but it was his willingness to drop the gloves against William Lagesson late in the third period that will likely be remembered.

Stutzle said he doesn’t remember who dropped the gloves first, but he’s happy to have his first NHL fight out of the way.

“Maybe a little bit stupid to go and fight there, especially that late in the game, but I kind of got aggressive there and tried to stand up for myself,” said Stutzle. “I think it got the team going a little bit more there and they were coming. It was fun.”

That being said the Senators would prefer the young forward to leave the fighting to others.

“Let’s be clear, you don’t want (Stutzle) fighting ever,” said Senators coach D.J. Smith. “He gets in a fight, comes back and does what he does. I mean, we’ve got a real, real hockey player on our hands.”

Chabot and Nick Paul also scored for the Senators (14-21-4), as Matt Murray made 37 saves.

Connor McDavid and Darnell Nurse scored for the Oilers (22-16-3) as Koskinen stopped 28 shots.

The game wrapped up a four-game homestand for Ottawa, who will take on the New York Islanders Tuesday night in their final game before the all-star break.

While Stutzle had the late-game heroics Smith couldn’t help but heap praise on Paul for his overall effort.

“I thought (Nick Paul) was our best player on the ice for us,” Smith said. “There’s very few people in the world who can skate with (Connor) McDavid, especially a forward backwards, and he did in overtime.”

The Oilers will take on the Washington Capitals Wednesday for its final game.

Edmonton gave full credit to the Senators and admitted their overall effort fell short.

“Obviously, we’re disappointed we didn’t get the other point there”, said Derek Ryan. “I don’t know if we played well enough through 60 minutes to deserve a win, in my opinion, but good on us to battle through and stick with it.”

Chabot opened the scoring as he fired a wrist shot that was stopped, but the puck went high and slid down Koskinen’s back and across the goal line.

Seconds later Evan Bouchard took advantage of a bad line change by the Senators and fed McDavid a stretch pass who beat Murray with a slapshot through the legs.

Ottawa regained the lead late in the second period on a power-play goal as Paul, with his eighth of the season, jumped on an Erik Brannstrom rebound.

Trailing 2-1 the Oilers were able to tie the game at the seven-minute mark of the third as Ryan made a great pass to a trailing Nurse, for his fourth of the season.

“I think we could’ve probably had another step up in our effort, especially in the middle of that game,” said Nurse. “But with that said, we found a way to get a point. We haven’t been doing that much lately.”

OTTAWA – Often you can point to a few different factors as to why a team wins or loses a hockey game. John Gibson was the difference Saturday, on both counts.

Gibson made 44 saves as the Anaheim Ducks defeated the Ottawa Senators 2-1. The Ducks were outshot 45-20.

“That’s what you need. Your best players have to be your best players, especially getting into the second half of the season and everyone is battling for spots and it’s as close as it is,“ said Ducks coach Geoff Ward.

“Obviously, (Gibson) gave us a chance to win tonight.“

Rickard Rakell and Troy Terry scored for the Ducks (23-16-8) and, despite being outshot by more than a 2-to-1 margin, Anaheim was able to collect their fourth win in their past five games.

The Senators (13-21-4) held a wide advantage in shots but only managed one goal, coming from Tyler Ennis.

Anton Forsberg played a solid game making 18 saves, but a third-period goal from Terry proved to be the difference.

Terry took a pass from Ryan Getzlaf and from the top of the faceoff circle sent a quick shot on goal, beating Forsberg to the far side at 3:42.

The Senators pressed hard the rest of the way but Gibson was impenetrable, stopping all 34 shots he faced through the final 40 minutes.

“The first period was pretty even and the second period we were all over them and third period much of the same. They score on their one chance, I thought, in the third period,” Senators coach D.J. Smith said.

“Their goalie put a clinic on. You can come up with reasons why you don’t score or come up with different excuses. We had 45 shots and plenty of good looks so he’s the difference.”

The game was once again played without fans in the stands, but the void was bigger for the Senators as they were also without three of their top players. Drake Batherson, Josh Norris and Erik Brannstrom all remain out of the lineup with recent injuries.

“All we can do is focus of the guys we have and play games. Everybody has got to adjust to the new situation,” Senators defenceman Thomas Chabot said.

“We don’t have Drake and we don’t Norris which are two massive parts of our power play, but once we get going and get used to guys being in new roles we’ll get it going again.”

The Senators had a statement period in the second outshooting the Ducks 18-4, but were unable to break the 1-1 tie.

Gibson was solid and showed why he’s an all-star stopping all 18 shots in the period, including five during a late Senators’ power play.

The teams opened the game with two goals in the first eight minutes.

Rakell gave the Ducks a 1-0 lead after dragging the puck behind the Senators’ goal before coming out the other side, spinning and then beating Forsberg through the legs at 6:19.

Ennis one-upped Rakell with a spinning move of his own as he reached for the puck at the top of the faceoff circle, did a 360 to avoid Jamie Drysdale then beat Gibson over his glove to tie the game 1-1 at 7:56.

OTTAWA, ON – The Ottawa Senators 5-0 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night was overshadowed by the loss of Drake Batherson.

Batherson is Ottawa’s leading scorer (12 goals, 21 assists) and was selected for the all-star game. But he’s likely to miss out now as he recovers from a knee injury, one the Senators (12-20-3) argue should never have happened.

Late in the first period, Batherson went to chase a puck behind the net and Sabres goaltender Aaron Dell gave him a shove, which sent the Senators player crashing into the boards feet-first. Batherson struggled to put weight on his left leg and needed assistance down the tunnel.

“It’s a bad play by the goalie,” said Senators coach D.J. Smith. “He’s done it before, we’ve seen all the replays you know.

“Any other player in the game that does that you know, you’d have to go out there and face the music I guess. Certainly, the league will look at whatever, but it’s a bad play . . . and it’s an unfortunate thing that a young kid’s not going to be able to go to an all-star game. It’s dangerous.”

Dell, who faced 47 shots, had a different version of the events.

“I was just trying to buy some time for my defenceman and step into (Batherson’s) lane,” said Dell. “I hope he’s all right.

“I wasn’t trying to hurt anybody.”

Dell’s words will likely ring hollow to the Senators as they felt the goaltender was in the wrong.

“I don’t like calling out other goalies, but for me as a goalie, you know, they’re not expecting to get hit by a goalie, just as when the goalie comes out to play the puck you can’t hit him,” said Ottawa goaltender Matt Murray, who made 32 saves for his 14th career shutout. “I just thought that’s a dangerous play that turns out just to be a really unfortunate result.

“One of our best players goes down. Just really unfortunate, that’s all I’ve got to say about that.”

Ottawa’s Brady Tkachuk didn’t mince words.

“It was unnecessary and dirty,” said Tkachuk. “I just feel for (Batherson).

“He’s had a tremendous year. He’s put so much work to kind of get to where he’s at. It sucks and it sucks for our group too.”

Ennis, who didn’t dress for two games last week on the road, took advantage of his opportunity.

“Sometimes you just need to refresh mentally, a reset,” said Smith. “It’s like you’re starting the year over.

“You score in the first game of the year and then it starts weighing on you. He sits a couple out, gets away from it a little bit and comes back and here he is and now all of a sudden he looks like, you know, he’s 20 years old again and he’s making all these plays. So that’s how finicky the mind is and how confidence comes and goes.”

Batherson and Alex Formenton also scored for Ottawa.

Three first-period goals was all Ottawa needed to cement this one.

Sabres head coach Don Granato thought his team had a solid start to the first, but very little after that.

“You sit here after the fact and you say, `Yeah, it could’ve been the other way after the first 10 minutes,” said Granato. “But the way we did not respond after that is an indicator, to me, that we didn’t have a strong enough foundation going into the game.

“So, there is no feeling good about anything. We had very little response, the way we wanted, after we fell behind.”

Formenton made it 4-0 midway through the second. Tim Stutzle drew Dell out of his net and made a toe-drag pass to Formenton, who had a wide-open net for his eighth of the season.

Ennis scored his third with just under a minute remaining in regulation.

Ennis opened the scoring at the 15-minute mark of the first on a beautiful give-and-go sequence with Adam Gaudette.

Batherson then picked up his 13th of the season on the power play as Stutzle’s shot hit him before hitting the post. However, in an effort to clear the puck, Mattias Samuelsson ended up putting it in his own net.

Ennis rounded out the scoring with his second of the night as he one-timed a shot past Dell.

Dylan Gambrel also suffered an upper body injury in the first period and is expected to miss close to a week.
