OTTAWA — While the Ottawa Senators would have loved to honour three of their most prolific scorers with a high-scoring performance, they were more than satisfied to eke out a 2-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings.
The night featured the reunion of the Senators'"Pizza Line" of Dany Heatley, Jason Spezza and Daniel Alfredsson, who led Ottawa to an Eastern Conference title in 2007.
Heatley's four-year tenure in Ottawa was defined by remarkable achievements, including back-to-back 50-goal seasons, but his departure left a bitter taste for many fans and angered then-owner Eugene Melnyk. “I mean, we're all used to some criticism, but it got a little deep,” Heatley said Thursday of the vitriol at the time. “But I guess the one thing I will say is, when I did want to leave it was nothing to do with the city or the fans.
During the Pizza Line's four seasons, the Senators posted a strong regular-season record of 179-112-37.
