Well, that was fun, but not too fun.
The Ottawa Senators took part in an afternoon contest today, against one of their favourite opponents this season, the Montreal Canadiens. A strong 60-minute effort yielded a 4-0 victory in which both teams combined for just thirty-eight shots on goal, and the team’s first shutout in this shortened season, and their first overall under D.J. Smith. And yes, Ottawa remains the only team to not be shut out this year. Okay, maybe it was still really fun.
Shane Pinto took part in his first NHL game today and predictably won the draw on his first shift.
