Pre-GAME

The Senators snapped Toronto’s winning streak in the first Battle of Ontario of the season. The 3-0 win included Ullmark’s first shutout with the Senators (9th career SO), Michael Amadio’s 2nd goal (consecutive games) and marked Tim Stutzle 600th NHL game. Not a bad way to turn your detractors away with big wins in Boston and Toronto.
