In their last game of the season, the Ottawa Senators made their way to Buffalo to face off against Craig Anderson and the Buffalo Sabres. The Senators would lose 4-3 in Overtime.
First Period
Considering there was no scoring, I will show a couple highlights.
Alex Tuch would be robbed by Mads Sogaard early in the game

As Kyle Okposo would hit Tim Stutzle without him having the puck, Brady Tkachuk would immediately come to his defense. It was a suspect hit in my opinion.

Mads Sogaard would make a crucial save on Tage Thompson to keep the game scoreless.

There would be no scoring for either team in the first period. The shots are also even at 11.
Each team would kill one penalty and would each have a good ammount of chances.
Second Period
The Buffalo Sabres open the scoring at 19:17 as Henri Jokiharju scores his 3rd goal of the season. The Sabres lead 1-0.

Claude Giroux scores his 35th goal of the season with 7:24 to play in the second. The play is reviewed for a kicking motion as the puck bounced off of Giroux’s foot. The call on the ice stands, good goal. 3-2. With Stutzle earning an assist on that, he has reached 90 points this season.
