Coming off a 4\u002D3 overtime loss to the Dallas Stars on Thursday, the Senators are trying to find their way back into the playoff picture.
As they prepare to face the Anaheim Ducks on Monday at the Canadian Tire Centre, the club closed out its two-game road trip with a 3-2 victory over the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena on Saturday and finished with three of a possible four points.Sign up to receive daily headline news from Ottawa Citizen, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.
“We’ve got to find a way to bring that home,” coach D.J. Smith said Saturday. “We’ve got to bring the same mentality at home that we’ve been playing with on the road. That’s a hard, heavy style if we want to make a push and try to get ourselves back into this thing by Christmas.” “We’re trying to build that consistency,” said winger Alex DeBrincat, who scored his seventh of the season Saturday. “Earlier in the year we’d have two good games and then take one off and we can’t afford that.
Against the Predators, the Senators controlled the first 10 minutes of the first and, if not for Jusse Saros, then there’s a good chance the club would have been ahead. Down 1-0 in the second, a late power-play goal by veteran Claude Giroux tied it up 1-1 heading to the third. “They were really good,” Smith said of Pinto, Batherson and DeBrincat. “That was Drake’s best game in a long time. He’s physical, he’s big and he’s all over the puck. If they’re going to give us that every night, it gives us a lot more options and it makes it hard for the other to check us.”
