Games 21- 30

Game 21 vs the Los Angeles Kings

Another strong showing by the Sens taking a 4-1 victory from the Kings. Batherson scored his 4th, Tkachuk his 3rd, Connor Brown with his 7th and Riley Smith his 3rd. Gustavsson with 20 saves.

Game 22 At home vs the Hurricanes

Carolina cooled us off a bit with their 3-2 win 40 seconds into overtime. Formenton and White both got their 5th goals after going down 2-0 but we couldn't get the next one and continued our rising amount of bad overtime and shootouts. Gustavsson played again this game and made 30 saves. Ollie Maatta twisted up his knee in the 3rd period and will miss a couple of weeks. Bernard-Docker will be called up to fill in.

Game 23 vs the Montreal Canadiens

Skating away with a 4-2 win over the Habs, Thomas Chabot collected 3 assists to help flex his offensive muscle. Artem Zub scored his 4th of the season to start off before Tyler Toffoli scored 2 to put us down 2-1. Brown scored his 8th to tie it and Drake Batherson scored the eventual winner with his 5th. Colin White added his 5th into an empty net. Chris Tierney was injured during the game. Should be a day or two.

Game 24 at home vs the Hawks

The Hawks are playing well lately and skated to a 4-2 win over the Senators. Batherson continued his goal scoring the last few games with his 6th of the season, Yegor Sokolov scored his 2nd. Gustavsson is showing some signs of being normal, making 21 saves tonight.

Game 25 at Chicago

The 2nd game of the back to back vs the Hawks was a 2-1 victory. Sogaard stole the game, making 37 saves and Tim Stutzle scored both goals, his 7th and 8th.

Game 26 at Colorado.

Big game vs the Avalanche tonight, a big test and we lost 3-1. Connor Brown scored his team leading 9th of the season and Gustavsson made 30 saves in the loss. Matt Murray has resumed skating and is coming back soon. This will create an issue on the back end for the club.

Game 27 vs the Florida Panthers

Big game vs the Cats and we win the game in a 4-3 win. Matt Murray played this game after coming off the IR. Hoping that teams will be interested or he plays better than what we have been having. Connor Brown scored his 10th and 11th of the season, Artem Zub his 5th and Viktor Mete got his 2nd in overtime to pick up the win. The win vs the Panthers vaulted us into a 1 point lead in the division over the Panthers.

Around the NHL...

Max Pacioretty signed a new 2 year deal with the Vegas Golden Knights that will pay him an annual salary of 6.11m per season.

Before the next game, we picked up Jean-Sebastien Dea (RW) and will dress and Shane Pinto is not ready to go tonight

Game 29 Vs Seattle

Gustavsson was back in goal for the Sens and we skated off with a 3-1 victory. Thomas Chabot opened the scoring with his 4th of the season, Reilly Smith scored his 4th as well and Tim Stutzle scored his 10th of the season. Gustavsson made 21 saves for the win

Game 30 at Nashville

Lost an ugly one to the Predators 5-2. Matt Murray didn't look very good in this one, allowing 4 goals on 23 shots. Not the best way to market a solid trade with him. Kotkeniemi scored just his 2nd of the season and Brady Tkachuk his 4th.

We did get some good news after the game, Morgan Geekie has been cleared to resume skating with the club. It'll still be a bit before he is ready to go but he is showing signs of coming back.
