The Ottawa Senators paid a visit to Buffalo tonight to take on the Sabres, featuring the greatest goaltender to ever wear a Sens jersey, in the third of three meetings between the two teams. Needless to say, the headline of this article does not at all do the game justice.
At first, it was looking like a bit of a struggle. Both teams traded early power-plays and saw a limited amount of opportunity, but it was the Senators who proved to be the far-less disciplined of the two clubs, with Erik Brännström first heading to the box for high-sticking, followed by Dylan Gambrell for slashing, and Brännström once again for tripping, which led to the offensive defenseman being benched for the remaining 7 minutes of the period.
