Pre-GAME
The Senators took another loss at home, extending the losing streak to 5 games in a 4-3 defeat to Vancouver. The final score looks close but that contained two Ottawa goals scored near the end of the game. Unfortunately, they ultimately did not have enough time to tie the game. Tim Stutzle did score his 100th NHL goal to mark a bright moment in an otherwise long night.
