Yesterday afternoon, the Ottawa Senators played a road game against the Philadelphia Flyers in the City of Brotherly Love. Soon after, they returned home on short rest to face the Utah Mammoth. With three games in four days early in the season, the Senators face a tough challenge to complete their first November back-to-back.
The Senators secured a 3-2 overtime victory in an unusual game. They started strong, leading 2-0 early, but then went 26 minutes and 25 seconds without a shot on goal during the second and third periods combined. Ottawa finished with just 13 shots on goal. Tim Stutzle scored twice, including the overtime winner. Michael Amadio extended his hot streak with a goal for the third straight game, while goalie Linus Ullmark made 20 saves.
The Senators will host the Utah Mammoth at the Canadian Tire Centre, with puck drop set for 7 p.m. The Mammoth have been one of the season’s surprises, sitting third in the Central Division with a 9-6-0 record. However, Utah has struggled recently, losing four of their last five games, including a 6-2 loss to the Montreal Canadiens last night.
"Tim Stutzle's second goal of the game turned out to be the overtime winner."
"Michael Amadio continued his hot start to November by scoring a goal for the third consecutive game."
"Linus Ullmark was better with making 20 saves."
The Senators face a demanding schedule with three games in four days, coming off an unusual overtime win and preparing to host a tough Utah Mammoth team looking to rebound from recent defeats.
