The game saw the Senators Special teams come up big.
THe Sharks got on the board first 8:15 into the first period. The goal was socred by Tyler Wright. Tyler then was so excited about scoring he made a bonehead move and took a boarding penalty. The Sentor responded right away , The normally 4th liner/PK forward Rob Dimaio scored his first goal of the season on the PP 8:57 into the period. Not normally used on the PP he made the most of his time there. Rob was quoted as saying" I was shocked when the coach put me on the ice but he just had a hunch"
The period ended with the game tied 1-1
The 2nd saw the Senators score the only goal. Nik Boynton scored is first goal of the season shorthanded.
The Senators then buckled down in the 3rd only allowing the Sharks 4 shots on goal the entire period. Rick Nash scored and insurance goal just over 5 minutes in. This was his 6th goal of the season.
The Defense stood tall the rest of the way as the Senators cruised to the win.
We now have one day off before getting back at it again vs the tough Flyers.
