It seems none of these supposedly good hockey teams have an answer for first-line center Derick Brassard. Yes, you’d think after three straight wins with Josh Norris and Tim Stützle out of commission, this would be when a club broke through. The Detroit Red Wings simply weren’t up to the task today, as the Ottawa Senators leveraged their special teams to secure a 6-3 victory, their fourth-straight victory, in fact, bringing their record to 14-14-2.
Detroit would actually strike first 2:32 into the game, as Cam Talbot only got a piece of Joe Veleno’s attempt with the blocker, with the puck trickling into the back of the net.
