The Senators rolled into Colorado yesterday with a 5-game winning streak on the line and almost made it a perfect road trip but fell to the Avalanche in Overtime. Still, I have to say this road trip turned out better than any of us could have possibly imagined so this loss doesn't sting all that much. Hey, at least we got a point? (I'm giving this optimism thing a try. I think I'll be much better off for it).
Wojtek Wolski scored off of his own rebound about a minute and a half into overtime and Ryan Shannon had the two tallies for the Senators. Interesting stat about Shannon, he has 9 goals in the NHL and 3 of them were against the Avalanche. Good on ya, Ryan!
The Senators also got a chance to meet an old friend/foe in Andrew Raycroft who was in net for the Avs. He stopped 20 of 22 shots while Alex Auld, coming off a shutout against the Predators last night stopped 24 of 27 shots. It looked promising for the Senators as they managed to score 30 seconds into the game, but then Raycroft actually recovered from the softie.
I can't say much else about this game since I had to go to bed after the first period (I'm an old lady, I know) but from what I've read it looks like Daniel Alfredsson took a puck off the jaw and he's hoping X-Rays will show no significant damage. Here's to a speedy recovery, Alfie! We're on a roll, after all!
Congratulations to Jason Smith on playing his 1,000th NHL career game!
