01:01So we are just about ready to get underway here.
01:05Two teams settling in.
01:07Goalies give their signals that they are ready.
01:09We are set to go here.
01:14The Senators get the opening face-off win, and period one is underway.
01:19Batherson.
01:20What a save!
01:23Sotoblom is able to hold his ground on that dangerous slot shot, and what a stop to keep it out.
01:28Just out of reach.
01:30And now he passes it over to Benoit.
01:33Benoit!
01:34Denied by Aldo.
01:37Can't connect there.
01:38Deflected.
01:41He's at the point now.
01:43It's steered away.
01:45Sotoblom's made the save and steered that puck right to the corner.
01:48A smart play to keep it out of danger.
01:50Puck tied up right along the board.
01:56St. Petersburg's got possession along the boards.
02:03Shot!
02:04Nice blocker save by Omar!
02:10You talk about not quitting on a play.
02:12There's no textbook style for that one.
02:14That's athleticism, reading the play, and never giving up.
02:28Lots of hockey left to be played.
02:30Still zeros across the board.
02:34Ottawa's won the face-off.
02:35They've got control of the puck.
02:38And now it's over to Clevin.
02:41Crisp short pass to Giroud.
02:44And a nice poke check there.
02:47Save!
02:49Gets the whistle.
02:50Play is stopped.
02:52And we'll get ready for another face-off.
03:05Otto has won the draw, and they have it.
03:08Save.
03:10Passes it off!
03:12Denied again!
03:13That is some kind of response from the goaltender.
03:16Coming up with consecutive saves and holding things together.
03:19Whistle blows.
03:20Offside is the call.
03:21And the face-off will come outside the zone.
03:23Soda Blom spins sharp, and you can see it on that last one.
03:26That's a high-danger chance, and he reads it the whole way, stays right with it, and comes up with
03:31a really strong save at a big moment.
03:39Settling in early in this stanza, and we are scoreless, 0-0.
03:46St. Petersburg's won the draw, and play continues here.
03:49Quick take-to-tape to Hustodinov.
03:56Can't connect that pass there.
03:58Kicked off.
03:59Good read.
04:01Quick dish to Cousins.
04:03Sends it over!
04:05Cousins!
04:06Play is stopped, and he'll take the face-off.
04:20Otto has won the draw.
04:23The crew have picked it up along the boards.
04:29Passes it off!
04:31Can't quite connect there.
04:34Pinto.
04:35Settler-Lint.
04:37Save!
04:40Picked up along the wall by Harris.
04:44Settler-Lint.
04:46Save!
04:47Nice anticipation.
04:48I'll tell you what, that's a big-time stop.
04:50From the low slot, things happen quickly, but the goalie's ready for it.
04:55Nearly halfway through this frame.
04:570-0.
04:58A scoreless affair right now.
05:01Otto has won the Ozone draw.
05:03They'll look to set up here.
05:04And that's blocked.
05:06He may have just saved one there.
05:08He definitely did.
05:10That's a tremendous effort to take away a real good scoring chance.
05:15Hallander whips.
05:16That's intercepted.
05:17Nice read there.
05:19St. Petersburg got the puck back along the boards.
05:24The crew have the puck.
05:26Shot from the point.
05:28Gets the whistle.
05:29And he'll take the face off.
05:35Getting set now.
05:37Face it off and resume play.
05:42And they win the draw in their own end.
05:45And here's a pass to Burakovsky.
05:48The crew have come up with it now.
05:53St. Petersburg's picked it up along the wall.
05:59St. Petersburg's got possession along the boards.
06:12Seri steered aside.
06:19Hallmark's come up with a massive stop on that last sequence.
06:22When you look at this again here on the replay,
06:24you can see that's a dangerous chance in tight.
06:26And he is just so composed
06:28and is able to make an outstanding save to keep it out.
06:35Approaching the middle of the frame.
06:37Quiet start.
06:380-0.
06:43The Senators win the face off.
06:44And they have the puck now.
06:46Nice little dish.
06:49Batherson.
06:50Timely pocheck there by Tucker.
06:52There's a long stretch pass to Johansson.
06:56Here's the pass.
07:00The Senators take it now.
07:02And they carry in their own zone.
07:06Ottawa's gotten it along the wall.
07:10Good pressure.
07:12Nice poke check by Batherson.
07:13And there it goes now to Johansson.
07:17Throws it over.
07:21Send it back to the point.
07:24He has it now along the point.
07:26Oh, man.
07:27And this crowd cannot believe what it just saw.
07:30The whistle blows.
07:32Gets the stoppage.
07:33And he'll take the face off.
07:35Oh, I've seen a lot of great saves.
07:37But that is amongst the best.
07:38Oh, that's one for the highlight reel.
07:40You won't find a better save than that.
07:52Inching closer to the midway mark of this period.
07:55Dead even.
07:55No goals yet.
07:59Ottawa's got that face off.
08:01And here we go.
08:05Dumps it deep into the opposite corner.
08:09St. Petersburg's got it now.
08:14Big hit.
08:17Scooped up at the point.
08:19He projects it away.
08:21He makes the save.
08:23You really got to appreciate the strength displayed on that sequence.
08:26The defender is trying to separate Vani from Puck with that shove.
08:29But somehow he fights through it and manages to direct it on goal.
08:35Puck taken there by Zetterlund.
08:40Quickly up to Matt Impalo.
08:44Dumps it deep into the opposite corner.
08:48Fed up top and handled at the point.
08:50St. Petersburg's got the puck back along the boards.
08:53And he sends it to Nyquist.
08:57Nyquist got that one with his stick.
09:00Puck taken behind the net.
09:02Wins it along the wall with that kick pass.
09:05Sends it over to his defensive partner.
09:09Nyquist!
09:10Awful body.
09:11All kinds of mayhem in front of the goal.
09:14Whistle blows and it looks like we have a penalty coming off.
09:21Boy, you can't do that.
09:22I mean, the player's going forward and you triple.
09:24I mean, it's an easy call for the referee as the player goes head over tea kettle.
09:28And he's going to the penalty box for two minutes.
09:46The Senators will get their first power play of the game here.
09:49Yeah, and this is a real important one here for a first look at the power play.
09:53Scoreless game.
09:54Chance to grab a little momentum right off the draw.
09:56There's a big save!
09:57I mean, it's a big save.
10:02Loke checked away from the defender.
10:04And that puck is sent out.
10:07Slides to pass over to Spence.
10:10And he feeds it now to Burakovsky.
10:12And he shuts the door.
10:15Delined!
10:16You talk about battle level, there it is.
10:18Making one save and then turning right around for another.
10:21But it comes and the zone is cleared.
10:25Callender!
10:26Say!
10:27Just got enough of that one.
10:29And the puck is covered up.
10:31The whistle blows.
10:32And we'll get a break here to our next faceoff.
10:36Players all set for the faceoff.
10:38And the power play will resume.
10:44Faceoff is won in the offensive zone.
10:47Tucker can't quite connect on that pass.
10:54Shabbat.
10:56Backhand!
10:57Knocked away with the glove!
10:59What a save!
11:01And that pass goes astray.
11:04Huck scooped up along the wall by Lorenz.
11:08Huck comes outside the zone.
11:10And they'll have to regroup in the neutral zone.
11:13Huck scooped up as the power play continues in their own end.
11:18Nicely up to Zou.
11:21Zou.
11:24Now a quick pass to Eklund.
11:28Gets it back up top here.
11:31Save!
11:32Oh!
11:37Soderblom has come up with a tremendous save.
11:39That's a high danger chance he was able to shut down.
11:41And you can see it on the replay.
11:43I like that he didn't panic at all.
11:44He tracked it beautifully.
11:46Stayed composed in the crease.
11:47And read it perfectly to rise to the challenge.
11:52Special teams.
11:53Once again the focus.
11:55As we get set for this faceoff.
11:57And the penalty kill will resume.
12:01Ripped!
12:01Locked shot!
12:02What an effort!
12:03He steps in and absorbs it to help kill this penalty.
12:07St. Petersburg's got it now.
12:09And they'll try to clear it down the ice.
12:13The crew have gained control along the wall.
12:18He takes it at the point.
12:20Locker the way.
12:23The Senators have picked it up along the boards.
12:28Glorikovsky.
12:28The pass!
12:32St. Petersburg's penalty kill unit with an excellent job.
12:35And we're back to even strength.
12:37Yeah, it expires without a goal.
12:39But that power play had a lot of good looks.
12:41And it's given them a little momentum here.
12:43Even if they couldn't finish it off.
12:45Lose it up to Burakovsky.
12:46And whips on it.
12:48Has it stick whip?
12:50Got it.
12:50And they clear the zone.
12:54Good chance here!
12:56High off the stick it out!
13:01And he sends it across to Lorenz.
13:06That pass just out of reach.
13:10Battle starts up along the boards.
13:13Gets it over to Zetterland.
13:16Sends the pass up.
13:17Shot!
13:18Just got a piece of that one!
13:22Delayed penalty as play continues.
13:26Whistle blows!
13:27Player to the box.
13:29The obvious penalty coming up.
13:32Yeah, that's interference all day long.
13:34He's trying to slow his opponent up just enough for his team to get there first.
13:37But he holds that lane and takes away the forward progress.
13:39So off he goes.
13:47Another chance with the man advantage.
13:49As we're about to face it off in the offensive zone.
13:53The Senators win the draw and they'll look to attack.
13:56Locked in front.
13:57Right in the shooting lane.
13:59Excellent play.
14:00Play is stopped.
14:02We'll regroup.
14:03And get ready for another faceoff.
14:07So we'll get set to drop the puck.
14:09And the power play will resume.
14:14The Senators come up with the defensive zone draw and they'll take possession.
14:20Shabbat.
14:23Batherson.
14:24Stips left.
14:25Blocked.
14:26Got that one with his stick.
14:32The Senators with the puck now.
14:35Otto has got the puck now.
14:36Looking to bring it up the ice.
14:40Aklund.
14:41Can't quite connect on that pass.
14:43St. Petersburg's picked it up along the wall.
14:46Goalie comes out to play the puck.
14:50Take that puck in the defensive zone.
14:52And they'll head up the ice looking for a power play goal.
14:56And now he pushes that across to Shabbat.
15:00St. Petersburg's puck now.
15:01And they'll look to kill this penalty.
15:04Sometimes that second unit power play gets things done after watching the first unit.
15:08Because they weren't very good.
15:12Otto is coming away with it in the defensive zone.
15:18The puck goes out of play and we get a whistle here.
15:26So just moments away here as...
15:28Gets set to resume this one and the penalty kill continues.
15:33Faceoff is one in the defensive zone.
15:35Can't collect that dish.
15:37Scooped up by Spence.
15:40Puck cradled by Burakovsky.
15:43Cousins!
15:44Just got enough of that one.
15:47Hangs on to that puck.
15:48Will get ready for another faceoff as the whistle blows.
15:53Closing moments of the frame.
15:55Nothing doing yet.
15:57We're scoreless.
16:00Offensive zone.
16:01Faceoff is one.
16:04Cousins!
16:05Oh!
16:06What a save!
16:07Those are not easy saves to make.
16:09That's a quality look from the slot.
16:11Back to the point here.
16:13Got that with his stick.
16:15What a smart save there.
16:17Not only does he make the stop.
16:18He steers it right to the corner and out of danger.
16:21Lots of pressure in the zone.
16:23And the goalie finally covers it up to get a whistle.
16:27Big faceoff here in the offensive zone.
16:30And they're looking to win it and fire one on a tired goalie.
16:34Yeah, after all that zone time, this is where you want to clean win, Bucci, and get it there quickly.
16:39Benoit.
16:41And here comes the one-minute-to-go call.
16:44Gets the whistle.
16:46Play is stopped.
16:47And we'll get ready for another faceoff.
16:52Play about to resume as we get set to face things off here.
16:58The Senators win the draw and take possession.
17:01Back at full strength now.
17:03And that power play stitched nothing together.
17:06Well, that power play comes up empty-handed.
17:08So now they've got to find a way to build some momentum back at even strength.
17:12Instead of letting it drain their energy.
17:16Hope checked away by Harris.
17:22And he pushes that across to Zari.
17:25Sends it now down below the goal line.
17:29Here's the shot.
17:33Horn sounds, period ends.
17:35And the players will head to the dressing rooms for refreshments and adjustments and get ready for the next one.
17:43We'll clean the ice and regroup and have it for you right after this.
17:46We'll clean the ice and regroup and have it for you right after this.
18:30We'll clean the ice and regroup and have it for you right after this.
18:47We'll clean the ice and regroup and have it for you right after this.
18:51We'll clean the ice and regroup and have it for you right after this.
19:11Bye.
21:07We're about to start period two here, but partner, before we do, what have you seen from this one so
21:12far?
21:12St. Petersburg's in a scoreless game right now, but these turnovers are the kind of mistakes that could really cost
21:17them.
21:17They've got to tidy up their game and be stronger on pucks.
21:20Gathered in by Stufla.
21:24Nice read, pass is in.
21:29Pass intercepted.
21:34Batherson, here's the pass.
21:38The crew have the puck along the board.
21:43Lorenz.
21:44Good stop by Allmark.
21:46Play is stopped, and he'll take the faceoff.
21:52Still in the early stages of this period.
21:55No score in this one so far.
22:00Otto has won the faceoff, and they'll take control.
22:09Here's the shot.
22:11Keeps it out with the glove.
22:14And that's sent over to Zari.
22:19Otto has got control of the puck in the defensive zone.
22:23Up the wall now.
22:29Zari.
22:30Now to Nyquist.
22:35Dumps it deep into the opposite corner.
22:38Puck picked up along the wall by Miramanov.
22:43Now he sends it down below the goal line.
22:46Sends the pass up now.
22:50Fires!
22:51Say!
22:53Pass disrupted by the stick.
22:56Stumped!
22:57Gets the whistle.
22:58And they're gonna go at it!
23:14Oh, and he tags him flush.
23:17Down and out.
23:18That last punch landed clean.
23:19And once he hit, this one was finished.
23:38We'll see what happens now after that.
23:40Sometimes momentum can shift after that kind of activity.
23:44And let's see what happens as the two teams are set to go again.
23:48And a big-time block on the play.
23:50That's a solid effort to negate a great scoring chance.
23:54Oh, another body part hit.
23:57Oh, another body part hit.
24:23Oh, another body part hit.
24:36I'll see what happens.
24:47Oh, another body part hit.
24:52And a two.
24:52Nice take on the one-timeer.
24:54Nice take to take.
24:57Hit.
24:58Sederland. Sederland. Chance denied by the goalie.
25:02That's a big-time save, and he wins that one-on-one battle.
25:09Taken there now by Mikheyev.
25:11And it's a quick pass to Lorentz.
25:14Feeds it across.
25:16And the puck is covered up. The whistle blows.
25:19And we'll get a break here until our next face-off.
25:23Hallmark's come up with a massive stop on that last sequence.
25:25When you look at this again here on the replay,
25:28you can see that's a dangerous chance in tight.
25:30And he is just so composed and is able to make an outstanding save to keep it out.
25:37Closing in on the middle of the frame.
25:39And we are scoreless. 0-0.
25:43Face-off one, and they take possession.
25:45And he slides it quickly to McDermott.
25:49St. Petersburg's got it back now.
25:52And they circle in back.
25:55Can't handle that pass.
26:01That's grabbed by Nyquist.
26:04Ottawa's grit really showing they take the putt now.
26:08He brings it along the wall.
26:11And that's moved quickly to McDermott.
26:16Arm in the air.
26:17There's a delayed penalty coming.
26:20There's the whistle.
26:21Here comes the call from the referee.
26:24Well, the puck's lower than you're on.
26:25That's an interference call.
26:26It's an easy one.
26:27He's going to go to the penalty box for two minutes.
26:49And the first power play of the game is here as we get set for the face-off in the
26:54offensive zone.
26:55Yeah, and this is a real chance here, partner.
26:57Clock-ranked power play in the league.
26:59First opportunity of the game.
27:01And in a tie game, this could cook them ahead.
27:06Nyquist.
27:06Broken up.
27:07Nice read by Zou.
27:11Makes the save.
27:13Sotoglons made the save and steered that puck right to the corner.
27:16A smart play to keep it out of danger.
27:22Ottawa's got it now.
27:23They'll look to continue to kill this penalty.
27:26And he quickly moves it to Zetterlund.
27:32St. Petersburg's got possession along the boards.
27:36Passes over to Lorentz.
27:41Has it now along the wall.
27:45The Senators scoop up the puck and they'll look to clear.
27:48Tape to tape to Zetterlund.
27:54St. Petersburg's got the puck back along the boards.
27:58They glide in the D zone.
28:01Crisp short pass to Hustadinov.
28:04Can't quite connect on that pass.
28:11Can't connect there.
28:13Comes outside the zone.
28:14They'll have to touch up.
28:17Greg.
28:18Off.
28:19Scored!
28:22That's his third goal of the year.
28:26Short handed.
28:29And it's 1-0.
28:40Yeah, and on the replay, the defenseman's just way out of position there.
28:43So far from the slot.
28:44And that opens it right up for the goal.
29:05Ottawa's game plan has been good since the opening faceoff.
29:09Plenty of shots on goal.
29:10They're keeping the pressure on.
29:11Just took a while to get that first one.
29:13But here we are in the second, up 1-0.
29:17The crew have the puck in their own end.
29:22Stands it over!
29:24Seary!
29:25Lockered away.
29:30Smith!
29:31Just snicked his equipment.
29:39So, we are set to go here.
29:41Players in position and the power play will resume.
29:45The Senators win the draw in their own end and they'll take possession.
29:49Sent all the way out of the defensive end.
29:53St. Petersburg's got the puck now behind the net.
30:01He has it behind the net now.
30:04Back to even strength now.
30:05And that power play unit got burned with a short handed goal.
30:09That can take the air right out of your bench.
30:12You go on the power play, hoping to grab momentum, and instead you hand it away.
30:16Now at even strength, it's all about settling down and getting your structure back.
30:20The Senators midway through the hockey game.
30:23So far, so good.
30:24The lead on the scoreboard and the shots on goal are still coming.
30:28And now he passes up to Stutzla.
30:31Batherson.
30:33Stutzla.
30:34Save.
30:36Look at that long pass to Mikheyev.
30:41Mikheyev.
30:42Locked to side by Omar.
30:44That drive catches a player out front and gets blocked.
30:48He hasn't scored an NHL goal in his career, but he's carrying the puck well, and he's getting chances.
30:57That pass just out of reach.
31:01Project by Stutzla.
31:04And he gives it over to Batherson.
31:10Crisp short pass to Benoit.
31:13Oh, not quite.
31:16And that's taken.
31:17Here he comes.
31:18And oh, whoa.
31:20Stopped on the breakaway.
31:21What a save.
31:22He stayed right with it and came up with a huge stop.
31:27Soderblom's come up with a tremendous save.
31:29That's a high danger chance he was able to shut down, and you can see it on the replay.
31:33I like that he didn't panic at all.
31:34He tracked it beautifully, stayed supposed in the crease,
31:37and read it perfectly to rise to the challenge.
31:43Both teams set for the next faceoff.
31:49The faceoff is won, and they take possession.
31:54Beautiful little play.
31:57Intercepted.
31:58Nice read by Shabbat.
31:59The Senators are doing a great job of anticipating the play,
32:02because they're pressuring the puck everywhere.
32:15Otto has won the faceoff in their own end, and they haven't.
32:19Shabbat.
32:23Cousins.
32:24Oh, what a save by Soderblom.
32:27What a smart save there.
32:29Not only does he make the stop,
32:30he steers it right to the corner and out of danger.
32:38The Senators continue to put the pressure on.
32:41They're getting shots on goal, even with the lead,
32:44trying to protect this lead midway through the game.
32:46Save.
32:48Slides the puck across to Marchment.
32:52Nyquist.
32:54Just broken up.
32:56St. Petersburg picked it up along the wall.
32:59Picked off.
33:00Good read.
33:01Here he comes, and a load.
33:03And he fires it off target.
33:05That's what he'll want back.
33:07Oh, can't quite connect.
33:10And that's picked up by Greg.
33:12Greg.
33:15Dumps the puck in deep.
33:17Greg!
33:18And that shot gets absorbed out front.
33:22Sweet little play there by D'Angelo.
33:25Nice little feed.
33:27And he quickly goes to Nyquist.
33:30The Senators have picked it up along the boards.
33:33Player down.
33:35That's going to be a trip.
33:36Arm is in the air.
33:38Whistle woes.
33:40Player to the box.
33:41The obvious penalty coming up.
33:44Oh, penalty called right there.
33:45That's bad timing.
33:47They're already trailing by one.
33:57Ottawa's got another chance with the man advantage.
34:00A power play opportunity as we get set here for the faceoff.
34:05Yeah, and when the power play hasn't scored yet, that could be frustrating.
34:09They just need to make some adjustments and take the opportunities that are given.
34:12Let's see how they respond.
34:13Off ahead to Tucker.
34:16Tucker!
34:19Lorenz!
34:19Same.
34:21They lead in and go to work along the wall looking for possession.
34:27Gathered at the point now.
34:34Shot.
34:35And that hits a teammate out front.
34:38Picks it up and looks to make a play.
34:40They're controlling the puck and putting on a clinic.
34:44The Senators take it now.
34:47Quick take-to-tape to Cunnin.
34:53Cunnin couldn't quite complete that pass.
34:56Picked up along the wall by Spence.
35:01Giroux!
35:02The crew have the puck now.
35:04The look to clear and kill more time off the clock.
35:07Just out of reach.
35:09The Senators have it now along the boards.
35:17Allender steered aside.
35:18Allender steered aside.
35:22Ohlmark spins sharp, and you can see it on that last one.
35:25That's a high danger chance, and he reads it the whole way, stays right with it, and comes up with
35:30a really strong save at a big moment.
35:38So the linesman has the puck.
35:40Players get into position, and this penalty kill will resume.
35:46The Senators win the draw, and they have it.
35:49Shabbat.
35:50Hope checked away by Hallender.
35:53Puck picked it up now in their own end with the power play time winding down.
36:00Spoofed up on the point.
36:01Out of the way!
36:03Soda Blom's been rock solid tonight, and when you look at that save percentage, it tells the story.
36:08He's seen plenty of rubber, and with this game this tight, those saves are giving his group a chance.
36:29So players back in position here, and the power play will resume.
36:36Offensive zone draw is successful.
36:40Bedoit.
36:44Bedoit passes it off.
36:46It's blocked.
36:47Ricocheting off a body in front of the net.
36:49The Senators' power play is over, and we're back to even strength.
36:53You can just feel the air come out of that unit there, because any time you get that extra man
36:57and don't make it count,
36:58it takes a little juice right out of your bench.
37:02The Senators with the puck now.
37:07Shabbat.
37:08Quick diss to Bedoit.
37:11Nyquist.
37:13Zeri.
37:15And here comes the one-minute-to-go call.
37:18Oh, what a save!
37:21Another big save!
37:23Boy, he is locked right in there.
37:25Makes the first stop and then answers with another big save.
37:29Inside the final stretch of this frame.
37:32One-nothing.
37:33Tight checking so far.
37:36Face-off win here in the defensive zone.
37:39And that puck is sent out.
37:42And he slides it quickly over to McDermott.
37:46And that's scooped up by Chisholm.
37:49Chisholm passes it off!
37:51Can't connect that pass there.
37:54Play is stopped.
37:56We'll regroup and get ready for another face-off.
38:02Ottawa's got to like their position in this game.
38:04Despite having the lead here late in the second, they're still on their toes, getting their shots on net.
38:10The Senators win the draw and take possession.
38:13Picked off by Shabbat.
38:19And 40 minutes of this game is in the books.
38:23See what kind of adjustments both of these teams make the rest of the way.
38:26We're back with more.
38:28Third period action ahead right after this.
38:31Excuse me.
41:35We're just about ready to drop the puck here in the third, but Hanger, what have you seen
41:39up to this point in the game?
41:40St. Petersburg's dictated a lot of the game through 40 minutes, John, and that's usually
41:45a real good sign, especially when you've owned the puck as much as they have.
41:48But now in the third, it's about turning all that possession into finish.
41:52Down by one, they've got to stay patient, stay urgent, and find that equalizer.
41:58The Senators with the puck now.
42:00A long stretch pass to Shabbat.
42:03And makes a pass to Lorenz.
42:14The Senators have it, and he quickly moves it to Eklund.
42:21Aklund, Aklund, Aklund, good stick there to disrupt the play.
42:27And nicely to Johansson.
42:33Throws it over.
42:34Hangs on to that puck.
42:36We'll get ready for another face-off as the whistle blows.
42:41Soderblom's been dialed in all game long, just making the timely big save when he's had to.
42:45And that's such a lift for your group, because when your goaltender comes up with those key
42:49stops, it settles everybody down.
42:51That calmness lets you defend a little better, you play with more confidence, and it can really
42:55swing momentum in your favor.
43:01Still very early in this one.
43:03Just one goal separates them, 1-0.
43:08The draw is won, and they take possession.
43:13Now smoothly to Burakovsky.
43:18Giroux.
43:19Oh, checked away nicely.
43:27Ottawa's got the lead, and still controlling the play.
43:30Shots on goal, not laid up at all.
43:33The Senators win the face-off, and they have it.
43:36Giroux's been better in this match-up tonight than his opponent, and that draw wins another
43:40good example.
43:42Loose puck, and now a race to get there.
43:44Ottawa's relentlessness pays off.
43:46They have it now.
43:48Here's a pass to Cousins.
43:50The pass!
43:52And that's knocked aside.
43:54St. Petersburg's got possession along the courts.
43:58Marchment.
44:03Move quickly to Burakovsky.
44:06Moves it forward.
44:10The crew have gained control along the line.
44:14And now he moves it to Hustedinov.
44:17Can't quite connect there.
44:20Ottawa's got it along the boards.
44:23He gets the puck in deep.
44:27Knocked away by Pinto.
44:29That's intercepted.
44:31Nice read there.
44:37Tucker!
44:38Tonight!
44:44Soda Blum's come up with a massive stomp on that last sequence.
44:47When you look at this again here on the replay, you can see that's a dangerous chance in tight.
44:51And he is just so composed and is able to make an outstanding save to keep it out.
44:59Just about halfway through the frame.
45:01One to nothing.
45:02Not a lot on the score sheet, but a good game.
45:06Faceoff is one in the defensive zone.
45:09That's picked up by Matinpaolo.
45:11Matinpaolo quickly up to Spence.
45:13And he moves it to Fogle.
45:16Dumps it deep into the opposite corner.
45:19Fogle.
45:20Shot blocked at the last second.
45:23That is just outstanding commitment.
45:25And he absolutely wipes out a good chance there.
45:27Can't quite connect on that pass.
45:34Shot!
45:35And he shuts down the one-timer.
45:38Referee's whistle blows.
45:40And we got a penalty coming up.
45:44Well, behind by one goal in the hockey game, you can ill afford to go to the penalty box.
45:48But that's what happened.
45:49A little lack of discipline there.
45:51The coach won't be happy.
46:08The Senators with another power play opportunity as we're about to face it off here in the offensive zone.
46:15Yeah, and when the power play hasn't scored yet, that could be frustrating.
46:18They just need to make some adjustments and take the opportunities that are given.
46:21But let's see how they respond.
46:23Score!
46:26Goal number two for him this season.
46:30Special teams delivering on the power play.
46:34Two-goal advantage now.
46:36Two-nothing.
46:45Yeah, and on the replay, it's that rebound opportunity right there.
46:48He stays right with it and buries it.
47:06The Senators with the big next goal in this contest.
47:10They extend their lead from one to two.
47:15St. Petersburg's won the draw, and play continues here.
47:23Marchment!
47:24Marchment!
47:25Guess the whistle!
47:27Play is stopped.
47:28And we'll get ready for another face-off.
47:31Eklund's been around it the whole game, and this is a real good example of patience paying off.
47:35He had several quality looks before this one, but there was no frustration in his game.
47:39He kept his legs moving, kept putting himself in scoring spots, and finally, he earned this one.
47:53Coming up on the halfway point of the frame.
47:56A couple goals the difference.
48:06Ottawa's won the draw, and they take possession.
48:10Broke it up on the poke check by Benoit.
48:13Puck sent in deep.
48:15Ottawa's got the puck back along the boards, and he serves it across to Stickslaw.
48:21He leaves the stick out and disrupts the play.
48:27Ottawa's got control of the puck in the defensive zone.
48:32The clue has the puck along the boards.
48:36Sent that pass across the ice.
48:39Broken off.
48:40Good read.
48:41St. Petersburg taking over possession of the puck here.
48:47And that's taken by Sanderson.
48:50Nicely up to Pinto.
48:56Puck taken now behind their own cage.
49:00Ottawa's picked it up along the wall.
49:06The Senators with it now in their own zone.
49:09Looking to break out.
49:10Puck checked away nicely.
49:14Taken over by Harris.
49:17The Senators have picked it up along the board.
49:20Hope checked away.
49:22Puck taken there by D'Angelo.
49:25Many people will say low-scoring games are boring, but not this one.
49:28There's been plenty of opportunities throughout this game.
49:30And it's made for a whole lot of entertainment.
49:33The skaters have been good, but the goalies have just been better.
49:37Sends the pass ahead.
49:40Moves it up to Harris.
49:42De'Angelo.
49:45Ottawa's come up with possession now.
49:48Feeds it on over to Sanderson.
49:52Halliday.
49:55St. Petersburg's got possession along the boards.
50:00Quickly up to Mikheyev.
50:05He has it behind the cage.
50:08Kept out with the paddle.
50:10That chance came from the low slot, but he didn't flinch.
50:13He held his ground to make a strong save.
50:16Giroux.
50:18Go check by Chisholm.
50:20Play is stopped, and he'll take the face off.
50:31The Senators really showing good mental stamina in this one.
50:35Their focus was to play with the lead with aggressiveness.
50:39And midway through the third here, they're still doing that.
50:42That's picked up by Tucker.
50:59The Senators have picked it up along the board.
51:02Picks up the puck, and the pressure continues.
51:05Kept out by the netminder.
51:12Hallmark's come up with a tremendous save.
51:14That's a high danger chance he was able to shut down, and you can see it on the replay.
51:18I like that he didn't panic at all.
51:19He tracked it beautifully, stayed composed in the crease,
51:22and read it perfectly to rise to the challenge.
51:27Players getting into position, getting ready for this next face off.
51:35Base off one here in the defensive zone.
51:38And now he passes it over to Burakovsky.
51:42Cousins.
51:43Denied!
51:44What a save from the slot, and he comes up with a huge stop on a quality chance.
51:49And that's nubbed up to Nyquist.
51:56Nyquist.
51:59Sends it over to his defenseman.
52:03From the point.
52:04Slap shot.
52:05And that's off the pad.
52:07He keeps that stick out there and just knocks the puck away.
52:13Up high.
52:14Received at the point.
52:17Sends it over to his deep hair.
52:23Gathered in by Burakovsky.
52:29The clock's winding down.
52:30You can't do anything fancy right here.
52:32Just get the puck down the ice.
52:34St. Petersburg's got possession now in their own end, looking to break out.
52:39Here's the pass.
52:40Good save there.
52:43Gets the whistle.
52:44And he'll take the face off.
52:49Timeout on the ice here, and now both teams head to the bench
52:52to talk things through a little bit.
52:54A good chance to settle in, get organized, and go over what you want coming out of this break.
52:59Late in the period now.
53:01The score, 2-0.
53:05Otto's won the face off, and they have it.
53:08And now it's over to Sanderson.
53:12Stutzla.
53:13The crew have picked it up here.
53:23From the point.
53:25The whistle blows.
53:26Gets the stoppage.
53:27And he'll take the face off.
53:32This is one of those moments where you really like to have an elite face-off artist.
53:37These are big ones right here.
53:39Face-off is won in the offensive zone.
53:44D-to-D pass along the blue line.
53:46Stick in the lane, broken up.
53:50Whistle blows, and we're offside.
53:57The Senators late in the third now.
54:00Continue to lead things, and also continue to get their shots on goal.
54:05Tape to tape to Eklund.
54:08Puck scooped up along the wall by Chisholm.
54:13And here's a pass to Zari.
54:16Zari.
54:18That pass just out of reach.
54:22Marchment.
54:23And the puck is covered up.
54:25The whistle blows.
54:26And we'll get a break here until our next face-off.
54:30On the doorstep of the intermission.
54:33The score, 2-0.
54:38Offensive zone face-off is won.
54:40Here's the shot.
54:41And that one doesn't get through.
54:43Blocked by a body out front.
54:45In all the line.
54:47Score!
55:01You can see exactly why breakaways are all about poise.
55:04He gets that clean look at alone.
55:06Doesn't rush the play.
55:07And when the moment comes, he makes the finish to put it right in the back of the net.
55:23Ottawa's had a great mindset in this game.
55:26Playing with the lead, but scoring at will.
55:35Face-off one and control of the puck is there.
55:38Can't quite connect on that pass.
55:41Ottawa's got the puck now.
55:44Under a minute left in the third.
55:46This has been all one way.
55:48Takes the puck now in the Ozone.
55:51Save!
55:56Sotoblomb's been sharp, and you can see it on that last one.
55:59That's a high danger chance, and he reads it the whole way, stays right with it, and comes
56:03up with a really strong save at a big moment.
56:12At the back end of this period, out in front by three.
56:20Draw one in their own end.
56:22And he feeds it now to Lorentz.
56:31He quickly goes to Harris.
56:33That shot goes off a body.
56:37The crew have picked it up along the board.
56:40And he blocks another shot.
56:43He has blocked a bunch here in a short stretch, and that one was another big stop.
56:49Okay, out.
56:53And the home team is headed back to the box again.
56:56And listen to this crowd.
56:58They are letting the officials here and now.
57:01They sure are, because that's three straight liners against the home side.
57:04And the fans are making their frustration very clear.
57:19Paceoff is one in the offensive zone.
57:22Good defensive play on the boat check by Lorentz.
57:30And there it is.
57:32The final horn.
57:34And what a nice way to close this one out.
57:36His first shutout of the season is in the books.
57:39That's a terrific feeling for a goalie, because it tells you his game was perfect from start
57:43to finish.
57:44Well, another exciting night of hockey is in the books.
57:47So glad to bring it to you.
57:49For Darren Pang and everybody at EA Sports, I'm John Butchergrouse.
