Just one goal! Not even basically just one goal this time!
The Final:
Maple Leafs 6, Senators 5
How It Happened:
Wild game. Senators did lead at one point, but they also trailed by two thrice and got back in it each time. Auston Matthews had a hat trick for the bad guys.
Any Fights?
Nope.
Standings:
Remember: These don’t account for how hot a team is. And I’m not saying the Senators are hot, but they have lost a lot of basically-one-goal games in recent days.
Toronto: 59 points, 41 games played
Winnipeg: 53 points, 41 games played
Edmonton: 52 points, 42 games played
Montreal: 43 points, 38 games played
Calgary: 37 points, 41 games played
Vancouver: 35 points, 37 games played
YOUR BELOVED OTTAWA SENATORS: 30 points, 42 games played
Senators News:
Connor Brown scored in his seventh straight game, which is a franchise record. The trade deadline is…tomorrow? So keep an eye on that.
Senators Thoughts:
Not a bad week, even with all the losses. Played pretty well, and in the nice spot of being able to say, “Well, they held onto draft position this way.”
What’s Next:
Back to Ottawa for a two-game set with the Jets tomorrow and Wednesday.
