The Ottawa Senators were looking to send the dads home happy with a win over the Nashville Predators in the second half of a two-game road trip. Their strong sixty-minute effort along with, believe it or not, some good luck, was enough to secure a 3-2 victory — their first road victory against Nashville since 2014.
The Sens opened the afternoon in a similar way to their previous outing against the Dallas Stars, outshooting Nashville 9-2 to start. They did a particularly good job of being aggressive in the offensive and neutral zones, forcing turnovers and icings to ensure they had the puck more often.
