GAME DAY REPORT
Senators All-Time vs. Wild: 13-12-1-3
This is the second game in the Global Series for the Ottawa Senators as they prepare to battle the Minnesota Wild. The Wild have been on a 3 game losing streak and are looking to turn things around while Ottawa has recorded two victories in a row after a thrilling game against the Red Wings that culminated in a last second victory.
Statistically, the Wild are in the bottom half of the league on Special Teams and scoring, so that does not bode well for them. Ottawa is 2nd in the league in average goals scored and Minnesota is 2nd last in the league in average goals allowed, so this might be a high scoring game!

Game recap – nov 16 – sens vs. RED WINGS
Stutzle scores overtime highlight reel goal to beat Red Wings 5-4
It was a game of ups and downs followed by an intense overtime, but the Ottawa Senators won the first Global Series battle, nabbing two valuable points. Ottawa scored 3 goals on 9 shots in the first period and proceeded to score quickly in the second period to take a commanding lead, however Detroit fought back scoring 4 unanswered goals to end the second period. The 3rd period did not resolve the situation so off they went to overtime. It sure seemed like a shootout was unavoidable until Tim Stutzle batted a puck in the mid-air to score with 2 seconds left in overtime.
Quick Sens Highlights:
- Brady Tkachuk scored his 9th and 10th goal of the season to give Ottawa a 2-0 lead.
- Jake Sanderson scored his 4th of the season to increase the lead to 3-0.
- Josh Norris scored his 4th of the season in the 2nd period making it 4-0.
- Drake Batherson scored on the power-play for a 2-0 lead in the 2nd period before Calgary scored a goal, reducing the lead in half.
