Tomas Tatar finally salted the game away, scoring into an empty net with 42 seconds remaining on the clock.
The dream of an Eastern Conference playoff spot isn’t altogether over yet for the Senators, but, with only nine games remaining in the quest to climb into a wild-card spot, every lost point is crucial. Next up for them in the endless stream of pivotal games is Monday’s contest against the Florida Panthers at Canadian Tire Centre.Article contentJack Hughes, Jesper Bratt and Nico Hischier scored the other Devils goals, while Blackwood stopped 25 Senators shots in the Devils net.
After an Alex DeBrincat power-play goal was taken off the board because video replay determined the play entering the zone had been off-side, Chabot made it 3-2 just as the penalty expired. With 3:57 remaining, Kastelic tipped the puck past Blackwood to deadlock the game 3-3. That goal broke a 17-game goal drought for Kastelic, dating back to Jan. 12, and set the stage for a compelling finish.
The push for the playoffs will be that much harder, though. The Senators announced earlier Saturday that defenceman Jakob Chychrun and centre Ridly Greig were out with injuries. Holden and Gauthier took their spots in the lineup against the Devils.
I'll bet Sens hater Kenny enjoyed the Sens losing this one so close to the playoffs. Did this one make the front pg. I'll bet it did also. Sens lose, front pg. Sens win, no front pg.
