Sometimes, the bounces just don’t go your way.
Expectations are pretty low for a Senators roster missing its best forward, top goal scorer, and #1 defenseman, among many, many others. With the playoffs out of the picture, just staying in games is a victory, and they more than did that tonight.
And they got a point. Not a terrible outcome, all things considered.
First Period
DJ Smith said before the game that it would be important for the Sens to get off to a better start tonight than they did last week. They achieved that goal, keeping pace with the Bruins during the first period and registering the bulk of the scoring chances.
