3 takeaways from Senators' insane 8-7 overtime win against Kings

2. Offensive explosion at last; the stat sheet fills up for players

The Senators were in desperate need of an offensive explosion after only scoring four goals in the first two games of the season. Safe to say, the Senators got the offensive explosion that they were looking for after finishing the game with 41 shots on goal against Kings goaltender Darcy Kuemper.

The Senators exploded for eight goals in the game. Four of the eight goals were scored on the powerplay. The Senators went 4-of-6 on the powerplay, and 11 different players recorded at least one point in the game.

Josh Norris and Zack MacEwen scored two goals each, and Norris added an assist for a three-point game. Tim Stutzle and Drake Batherson each recorded a three-point game. Although Stutzle entered today with three goals, Stutzle recorded three assists in the win.

Jake Sanderson, Brady Tkachuk and Thomas Chabot each recorded a two-point game. Newly acquired defenseman Nick Jensen also recorded an assist for the second consecutive game.

Coming into today, the Senators needed to get offensive production from more than their top point scorers on the team. The fact that the Senators had 11 different players get on the stat sheet today matters a lot. It's important for any team that they can rely on their depth to pick up points when needed. If the Senators continue to get offensive production from their depth, they can be a deep team up front.
