Ottawa Senators drop first home game of season, falling to Tampa Bay Lightning

Guy Boucher swore this night wasn’t about revenge.

Facing his former team for the first time since he was let go by the Tampa Bay Lightning in March of 2013 on Saturday night, the Senators coach wasn’t about to get caught up in creating any headlines by throwing any fuel on the fire.

That’s a good thing, but the two points probably would have meant a little bit more to Boucher just the same and they certainly wouldn’t have hurt in the standings. Instead, the Senators came up short after spotting the Lightning a 2-0 lead in a 4-1 loss in front of 15,918 at the Canadian Tire Centre.
