Visiting Senators Drop Panthers in OT




Each team had quite a few chances in the first period. The Ottawa Senators opened up the scoring in the first period with a goal by Erik Christensen, his first of the season. Boyd Gordon tied up the game with a shorthanded goal late in the first period. Ottawa outshot Florida 17-14 in the first period.

Nate Horton gave the Panthers a one goal lead in the first minute of the second period with his ninth goal of the year. Olli Jokinen scored his 17th of the season to increase the Florida lead to 3-1. Jokinen's goal came on a power play and was assisted by Sheldon Souray and Jay Bouwmeester. Just a couple minutes later, Daniel Alfredsson scored the first of three consecutive goals, this one on a shorthanded chance. Later in the second period Alfredsson scored on a power play to tie the game 3-3. The Panthers outshot Ottawa 9-8 in the second period.

The third period offered more chances for the Panthers but neither team could capitalize on their opportunities and the scored remained tied going into the overtime four on four skate. Florida outshot Ottawa 9-6 in the third period.

The game came to an abrupt end as Alfredsson completed the hat trick giving the Sens the extra point in the standing. It was the first Florida overtime loss at home this season but the extra point helps to propel the Panthers in the standings.

For the game Florida was outshot 34-32. Patrick Lalime stopped 29 of 32 shots in goal for Ottawa and Roberto Luongo stopped 30 of 34 shots for Florida. Florida managed only one power play goal in six chances while Ottawa scored once on the power play in two chances.

Alfredsson was the first star of the game with his hat trick. Nate Horton was second star of the game and Erik Christensen was the third star. Neither goalie was spectacular though each made some great saves in the third period.
