Sens split home and home with Oil

The Ottawa Senators played a home and home series versus the slippery Oilers from Edmonton.

In game one, the Senators came out FLYING, scoring 4 goals in the first 7 minutes of the 1st period. All of these goals were scored by different contributors, most notably, Petr Nedved notched his 25th of he season!

The 2nd period was all Oil as they notched 2 goals to add to their late 1st period goal and pull within one. But, Petr Nedved wouldn't allow the Sens to lose this one. He notched his 26th of the season midway through the 3rd to put the game out of reach for the Sens!

The second game of the series was a disaster for Ottawa. In period one, Fata scored and Morrison put away his 27th goal of the year to give the Sens a 2-0 lead going into the 2nd. Nedved's 27th of the year was sandwiched in between two Oiler goals in the 2nd to keep the Sens in front 3-2 going into the 3rd.

However, the third was a different story. Turek allowed 3 goals on just 6 shots to start the period before giving way to Fred Brathwaite who allowed 2 goals on the next 9 shots as the Sens lost 7-3 to the slick Oilers!

The Sens hope for a better result at home against the Canadiens tonight!
