The Senators desperately needed to salvage something on the road to build some confidence and get out of the recent funk they’ve been in. Craig Anderson generally likes playing at MSG and most of us were hoping it would go his way tonight.
The first period overall had a mellow vibe to it where both teams were getting warmed up. Cody Ceci was continuing his offensive chances surge but pretty consistent on the mediocre defense. With a little over the halfway mark, former Senator Mika Zibanejad had the perfect pass to Marc Staal for his first of the season and it’s 1-0.
