Suter made it 4-1 at 7:54 of the third period with his second of the game, scoring from a sharp angle with a one-timer that snuck under the right arm of Ersson.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe made sure we didn’t have to play a 200-foot game, and we got the puck deep,\u201d Suter said. \u201cAnd then really forechecked them hard and got those pucks back, and kept possession. So I think everybody played really well there at the blue line.”<\/p>\n
Neighbours pushed it to 5-1 with his second of the game at 14:46, tapping in a feed from Buchnevich on the rush.<\/p>\n
Less than a minute later, McTavish got his second of the game. His one-timer from the right circle on the power play made it 6-1 at 15:33.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don’t know if we stopped thinking or what, but you know we didn’t help our goaltender,” Giroux said. \u201cAnd you know it wasn’t on him in the third. It was on us to play better.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jiricek, playing his sixth NHL game, extended it to 7-1 at 16:32, beating Ersson from just above the right circle.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe’re doing the right things and playing, you know, team hockey, so it’s good,\u201d Hofer said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zetterlund scored on the power play at 18:33 for the 7-2 final.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur execution wasn’t great, and a few more details,\u201d Ottawa captain Thomas Chabot<\/a>\u00a0said. \u201cBut you know what? We’re aware of it as a team, as a group, as players, and that’s all that matters. And we’ll make sure we answer back.\u201d<\/p>\n NOTES: Senators forward Ridly Greig<\/a>\u00a0did not play the final 9:09 of the game. \u201cHe has a strain, so we thought it was best to keep him out,\u201d Green said. \u2026 The Blues scored five goals for the second consecutive game; they defeated the Columbus Blue Jackets 5-3 on Saturday. \u2026 St. Louis forward Dylan Peterson<\/a> was plus-1 and played 8:57 in his NHL debut.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Suter made it 4-1 at 7:54 of the third period with his second of the game, scoring from…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":932549,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194295],"tags":[49,48,20739],"class_list":["post-932548","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\/932548","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=932548"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/932548\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/932549"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=932548"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=932548"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=932548"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
