5 to 1, plus they scored early in the 1st but it was ruled offside. Also, 3 more posts. The Sens had maybe half a dozen good scoring chances the whole game. When they did get a chance, Markstrom was rock solid - one of his best performances of the year. Only reason he didn't get a shutout was an own goal on a silly bounce off Backlund on a clearing attempt (OTT never even touched the puck)

The goal against wasn’t a bounce off Backs. It was Markstrom passing off to Backlund who then for some reason tried to fire it back against the grain past Markstrom, around the back of the net. It instead hit Markstrom’s skate and bounced right in front of the net. A bad idea by Backs, but also the worst possible carom.
