The Sens come into this game riding high on a 3-game streak while the Islanders are desperate to end their 11-game losing streak.
The first period was a slow start by both teams with Sens missing a few open nets. Former Senator icon Zdeno Chara takes the first penalty of the game giving the Sens the chance to put the Isles on their heels early on. Not the greatest power play, they did get two shots but nothing insanely dangerous
Still slow period, but the Sens were def stifling all chances by the Islanders which was a good sign as the Sens were supposed to be the more tired team.
