It was a game that the Ottawa Senators would probably like to forget, but one that would also do well to remember.
In their second of three straight games against the Winnipeg Jets, the Senators never got out of the starting gate, and were dealt a more-decisive-than-it-appeared 4-1 loss. Matt Murray was pulled after allowing four goals through two periods, while Connor Hellebuyck was excellent, turning aside 28 of 29 Ottawa chances.
The Senators’ record falls to 1-2-1.
It was a striking contrast from Ottawa’s last effort against Winnipeg, when they outplayed the Jets for the vast majority of the game, but still saw a 3-1 lead evaporate into an overtime defeat.
