Sens have Blues singing the blues!

The Ottawa Senators remain undefeated in 5 straight games after defeating the St. Louis Blues 4-2 last night.

Ottawa was down 1-0 after the first period on a Blues goal by Michal Handzus. Even having outshot the Blues 8-5 in the period, Roman Turek, who is still filling in for the injured Chris Osgood, could not hold them off allowing them to score with 4 minutes left in the 1st period.

However, just 2 minutes into period 2, Selanne tied the game assisted by Morrison and Tarnstrom. The relentless and determined Blues poured it on, immediately tying the game back up. The Senators outshot the Blues 12-9 in the 2nd period but were still trailing heading into the 3rd and final frame.

The 3rd period was all Senators as they scored 3 goals on only 6 shots in the period to win the game 4-2. The offensive spark was started by veteran Dman Tom Poti as he scored on the powerplay on passes from Novak and Sejna on a terrible hit by J. Jillson that cost him a boarding call and 2 minutes in the box. Shortly thereafter, Poti made a beauty pass to Morrison who put home his 10th of the season, 2nd point of the game, to put the Senators ahead 3-2. And Petr Nedved, fresh off a pretty brutal injury that saw him miss the last 6 games, iced it with 2.5 minutes to go in the game assisted by Ryder and Bouchard.

Turek stopped 19 of 21 shots for his 4th win of the season and his 4th straight start without a loss.

Ottawa travels into Montreal tonight for a division battle with the Canadians.
