Sens Writer: Senators Blow Another 3rd Period Lead, Lose to PHI in OT

I thought Ullmark was coming around with two solid games in Boston and Toronto. This was an immense step backwards. He looked nervous all night

Ullmark’s games against Vegas and Philadelphia cost this team points. I’d even argue that he should have been sharper in the Ranger game where he was outplayed by Igor Shesterkin but the Senators dominated the game, similar to last night. When 3 of the 9 starts are costing this team points, it is not a great situation.

Did the Sens have some defensive lapses? Sure. However, an $8+ mill should be counted on to make a save here and there.

I’d run with Ullmark to see if he can get on his game. I don’t think we have a Korpisalo situation yet, but I didn’t think Ullmark would sub 900 for his SV% in his first 10 games.

The team is playing extremely well in front of him. Let’s hope that continues.

That was a rough loss.

The team looked great outside of the goalie if we're looking for silver linings. Admittedly a defensive lapse or two, but 99% of the time you win that game with someone else in net.

But this was a major missed opportunity to put a winning streak together when they so desperately need to start building a new team identity that things are different than before.

I guess they'll have even more incentive to do so as a bounce back game on Saturday. Not sure who they go with in net.

Great work
