The Ottawa Senators will welcome the Florida Panthers to Canadian Tire Centrer for an NHL game on Monday. The Ottawa Senators lost 5-3 in their last game over the Devils. Brady Tkachuk, Thomas Chabot and Mark Kastelic scored for the Senators and Dylan Ferguson had 30 saves. Tkachuk scored his 33rd goal of the season to give the Senators the 1-0 lead 3:14 into the first period. The Devils responded midway through the first period with Hughes’ 40th goal of the season on a breakaway, going five-hole to tie it.
Nick Holden gave the puck away and Bratt scored his 31st goal of the season on the breakaway 2:24 into the second period to give New Jersey the 2-1 lead. Mercer’s 23rd of the season came just over a minute later. The Senators answered midway through the second period when Thomas Chabot scored his 11th goal of the year to cut the deficit to 3-2. They knotted things up 16:03 into the second when Kastelic scored his fifth of the season.
“We were confident going into the third period. We felt like the game was there for our taking,” Travis Hamonic said. “They score on their chance, and that’s game.” Hamilton scored 3:34 into the third period to give the Devils the lead. His 19th goal breaks the franchise record for goals in a season by a defenseman, surpassing Scott Stevens – the Devils great whose number is hanging in the rafters – record of 18 in 1993-94.
The Florida Panthers on the other hand lost 3-4 against the Rangers in their last game. Aleksander Barkov had two goals and Ryan Lomberg also scored for Florida, which has lost three straight and dropped three points behind Pittsburgh for the second wild card in the Eastern Conference after the Penguins beat Washington later Saturday night. Sergei Bobrovsky finished with 38 saves. Barkov got things started for the Panthers, following up a loose puck and sweeping it past Halak at 9:15 of the opening period.
Lomberg picked up his 11th goal of the season on a shot from the left circle with 5:14 left in the first. The Rangers picked up their game in the second, outshooting Florida 21-8 and tying the score. “They took over,” Barkov said. “Playing against good teams, they’re going to have their momentums and stuff. They played well in the second period and third period they defended well. They didn’t give us that much. … Now we have to regroup and move on.”
