It is difficult for the Ottawa Senators to beat the Edmonton Oilers.
The Final:
Oilers 4, Senators 2
How It Happened:
It was closer than the final implies, with the fourth Edmonton goal coming with a second left against an empty net. Marcus Högberg dazzled early but couldn’t hold off the Oilers, and while the Sens managed equalizers early in both the second and third periods, they couldn’t get the last one they needed.
Any Fights?
Nope. Peaceful.
