At the same time as the meeting of the Montreal Canadiens against the New Jersey Devils, the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Senators are currently against each other at the Canadian Tire Center in Ottawa.
If the fans didn’t have much to eat at the Bell Center, the story is different in the national capital, where each team found the back of the net in the first period. The Leafs opened the scoring at the start of the period thanks to an Alex Steeves goal on a fake play after a faceoff.
But the Sens players did not let this task bring them down and it was their stars who took matters into their own hands. After hanging around goaltender Anthony Stolarz’s cage for a long time, captain Brady Tkachuk made a great pass by forward Claude Giroux to allow defenseman Jake Sanderson to score his team’s first goal to score.
The poor Leafs players no longer seemed to know where they were going and the young back took advantage of the confusion in the Toronto area to unleash a great wrist shot that left no chance the Leafs goalie.
Sometimes players need some time to get back into game shape because after all, they just went an entire summer without playing a game, or at least at the National Hockey League level. We have to admit, based on this game, it looks like the Sens stars are ready to have a great season.
New head coach Travis Green will need his players to be at the top of their game if they want to secure a spot in the playoffs for the first time since 2017, when they fell one goal short in the Stanley Cup final.
