Josh Norris scores two goals in return from injury, leading the Senators to a 6-1 victory against the Capitals
Ottawa Senators centre Josh Norris celebrates his goal against the Washington Capitals during first period NHL hockey action in Ottawa, on Wednesday, Oct. 18, 2023. The Ottawa Senators centre returned to the lineup Wednesday night after missing all of training camp and the first three games of the season, and scored a power-play goal 12 minutes into the game.
Norris was anxiously looking forward to this season, but at the start of training camp the team announced he had tweaked his shoulder and would be wearing a non-contact jersey. At the time the team downplayed the issue and said Norris would play in the pre-season. Vladimir Tarasenko, Artem Zub, Claude Giroux and Jake Sanderson also scored for the Senators . Anton Forsberg made 23 saves.
Tarasenko opened the scoring four minutes in after taking a pass from Ridly Greig to beat Kuemper, but it was Norris' power-play goal midway through the period that brought the crowd to its feet. Washington managed just three shots on goal in the third, while Sanderson rounded out the scoring for the Senators with his second of the season.Capitals centre Nicklas Backstrom skated in his 1,100th career NHL game Wednesday. Backstrom made his NHL debut on Oct. 5, 2007, against the Thrashers in Atlanta. Backstrom scored his first NHL goal against the Senators that season, beating the late Ray Emery for what would prove to be the game-winning goal in a 4-1 Caps victory.
