Rangers destroy Sens in 2nd period

The Ottawa Senators got embarrassed tonight against the Rangers. Anderson couldn't stop anything. Anderson let in a goal with 2 seconds left in the 2nd period. I guess he went off the ice a bit to early... Kuba left mid-way through the 3rd with an undisclosed injury. He will be a game-time decision against the Leafs. Weber is most likely going to fill in for him.

Hopefully they can beat Toronto at home tomorrow. They beat the Sens 3-0 last time. Gaborik has an amazing game.

He's Big, He's Bald, He's Alex Auld! Auld to get the start vs Leafs, giving Anderson a much needed break...

As thought, Kuba was out with a sore foot, so Weber took his place for his 1st game as a Senator. Auld started in net, giving Anderson a well-deserved break. Klinkhammer recorded his 1st ever NHL goal off a rebound and nailed it top shelf. This is pretty much a battle for LW between Klinkhammer and Ivanans. Once Greening comes back, one of the two have to be scratched or sent down to Baby Sens. Zack Smith got the winner by a Deflection against Reimer in the 3rd period. Anderson blew his shutout with 5.1 seconds in the 3rd period, after a goal by Lupul was scored.

Game Notes
With Greening coming back after this game, He took 3rd line LW, and I sent down Klinkhammer to Baby Sens. I brought up RW Conboy as a Scratch, just so Klinkhammer could get some playing time, and improve a bit before we bring him back up to our roster.

***Edit***
Gonchar had 2 assists, not 3.

Good luck with your Senators dynasty. I think you got the best out of both trades.

Not enough rest for Anderson, comes up with a Loss

Both teams are hot, Boston has lost only 2 of its last 10 games while Ottawa has dropped 4 out of its last 12 games. After a night's rest, Anderson got the start for Ottawa, while Rask went between the pipes for the Bruins.

After a scrap with Lucic, Foligno head to the dressing room with an undisclosed upper body injury. It was later determined that he broke his jaw and will be out of the rest of game. The Senators beat Rask to end ruin his shutout streak, but it wasn't enough to stop Seguin's hat-trick.

Alfredsson showed leadership, getting 1 goal and giving a couple hits. At one point, Anderson took on Lucic, then Cowen came in and a big scrum happened. A total of 10 goals were scored, kind of a repeat of the previous game against

Quick Goalie Comparison:

Anderson: 11 GP, 7W, 4L, 1SO, .905 SV%, 2.49 GAA
Rask: 1GP, 1W, 0L, 1SO, 1.000 SV%, 0.00 GAA

OT Loss, Heartbreaking...

Anderson did an amazing job in the 3rd period with all the saves, after letting in 2 goals in the 2nd period. Nick Foligno played splended with a broken jaw, scoring a goal and grabbing an assist. The Senators made a push in the 3rd to force overtime, where they succumbed to the pressure of Montreal.

Konopka, unlike many assumed, did not make the starting lineup for Montreal, but was a healthy scratch. This now marks two losses in a row for Ottawa.
