Before Ottawa faced Chicago on Feb. 17, general manager Pierre Dorion told reporters the club’s seven-game stretch would determine the course of action at Friday’s 3 p.m. deadline. The Senators have a 3-2-1 record in the first six games. The decision to start Talbot came as no surprise to those who understand the way Smith and goalie coach Zac Bierk think. That was always the plan coming into this series and Mads Sogaard will make the start Tuesday because of the back-to-back scenario.
Chabot sealed this one with his ninth of the year only 47 seconds into the third. This makes Tuesday’s game even more interesting. The Senators did a good job winning the physical battles and that was the difference along with timely scoring.Article content A brilliant pass by Dylan Gambrell to send Giroux in alone set him up for his ninth goal in 13 games and his 24th of the year. While Giroux was hooked and likely would have gotten a penalty shot, the puck slid through Hellberg’s five-hole at 14:10 to give the club lead.
