Who would’ve expected ten goals from two of the league’s most stingy defensive teams? Shaky goaltending and high offense from both ends is what made this a 6-4 game, in favour of the Ottawa Senators. Mike Condon made his 10th straight start, and Carter Hutton made his third straight as Jake Allen has been struggling in the past month.
The first period started off with a fisticuff, as Chris Neil and Ryan Reaves would drop the gloves only two minutes into the game. Neil had to take some big punches from Reaves, who was gritty the whole night throwing the body.
