NEWARK, NJ – The Ottawa Senators built a three-goal lead in an eventual 4-1 victory against the Devils at Prudential Center on Monday night.<\/p>\n
Shane Pinto opened the scoring nine seconds into the second period. Stephen Halliday, Tim Stutzle and Tyler Kleven also scored for Ottawa.<\/p>\n
Arseny Gritsyuk has the only Devils goal.<\/p>\n
New Jersey took nine penalties in the game with Ottawa converting on one of those tries. The penalities and lack of scoring sunk the Devils.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Just not enough screens in front, made the night a little too easy on (goalie Linus) Ullmark,” forward Jesper Bratt said. “And\u00a0he’s a good goalie when he sees the puck, so. And then some details lead to them scoring on the power play. And, I mean, when you’re killing off that many penalties, a good team with good individual players are going to score after all.”<\/p>\n
“We just didn’t get on offense enough, and when we did, I think we were probably a little fatigued, as I said, because (the penalties kills were) so hard to get through. But\u00a0it’s something we got to do a better job of. We got to learn how to score when it’s hard. That’s just the reality of it. So, we got to stay with it.”<\/p>\n
The Devils are now 2-3-0 on the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“It’s five games. It’s not fun to start the season\u00a02-3 but we’re only five games in,” defenseman Brett Pesce said. “We’re not sweating it too much.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEWARK, NJ – The Ottawa Senators built a three-goal lead in an eventual 4-1 victory against the Devils…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":931305,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194295],"tags":[49,48,20739],"class_list":["post-931304","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ottawa","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-ottawa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/931304","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=931304"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/931304\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/931305"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=931304"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=931304"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=931304"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
