Despite scoring first, the Panthers found themselves dominated by the Senators in the opening period of play. Mike Hoffman’s pass across found its way through the skate of Ottawa Senators player Cody Goloubef, onto Dadonov’s stick who then had an open net for a power play goal at 1:41, but after that Ottawa took over, finishing the period with leads in hits, face off percentage, and on the scoreboard.
