Ottawa came into Saturday afternoon's game looking to extend their winning streak to three games, while Edmonton came in looking to extend their smash hit television show, "Oil Change" to five seasons. Earlier in the week, Paul MacLean gave Stephane Da Costa his farewell bisous as he was sent down to the minors, while the team finally gave the fans what they were asking for and recalled highly touted prospect Derek Grant.On the broadcast front, the all-Canadian Saturday match-up that we've come to value as a rich Canadian tradition for decades was naturally passed up by CBC for the Artistic Gymnastics World Championship in Belgium. Congrats to Guillaume Latendresse on his bronze medal! Now on to the game...

Closing Thoughts

Echoing the thoughts of Paul MacLean, this was actually Ottawa's most complete 60 minutes of the season. They peppered Dubnyk like a fine steak and were relatively solid in their own end all night. That being said, there was a relative lack of grade-A scoring chances for the Senators, and I'm not sure there was one crisp tape-to-tape pass on the powerplay all night. This game was essentially the exact opposite of the opener against the Devils, and it hurt to give up an easy win.Ottawa got its first poor performance of the season from Robin Lehner as the two early goals silenced the crowd and crippled the team.MacArthur-Turris-Ryan continue to totally dominate the opposition. MacArthur is the best 5-on-5 possession player in the league so far , with Turris in 6th, despite starting only one out of every three shifts in the offensive zone(!).
