The Ottawa Senators will welcome the Colorado Avalanche to Canadian Tire Centre for an NHL game on Thursday. The Ottawa Senators lost 6-3 in their last game over the Oilers. Timmy Stutzle scored twice for Ottawa, giving him 34 for the season. Brady Tkachuk added his 27th goal, and Mads Sogaard stopped 27 shots. Ottawa has lost three in a row.
“I thought we worked hard, I thought we had lots of chances,” Senators coach DJ Smith said. “Just the mistakes we made ended up in our net. For me, sometimes you lose where you think you deserved a little more and I think today is one of those days and I think their top guys went off.” Nugent-Hopkins gave the Oilers a 3-2 lead on a power play at 5:39 of the second period. He has 31 goals this season.
The Colorado Avalanche on the other hand won 1-2 against the Leafs in their last game. Nathan MacKinnon was the only scorer in the shootout as the Colorado Avalanche defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 2-1 on Wednesday night. Mikko Rantanen scored in regulation for Colorado (38-22-6). MacKinnon’s five-game goal streak came to an end, but his play carried Colorado to the win.
“Been playing awesome,” Avalanche defenseman Bowen Byram said of MacKinnon, who entered with 15 goals in his last 15 games. “He’s the guy that our team follows. When he’s going, I feel like everyone else is sharper.” Alexandar Georgiev made 17 saves for injury-ravaged Colorado (38-22-6), which has found its game since the All-Star break and climbed within five points of the Central Division-leading Dallas Stars with two games in hand.
“That dedication to the way we have to play to have success is the key to it,” Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar said. “Some nights we’re as good as we want to be. Seems like recently we’ve wanted to win these hockey games. We know they’re important. Winning the division isn’t the be all, end all. But certainly to have short-term goals like that and chase down the teams that are in front of us is part of it.
