Sens definitely need to get the offense going.

The defense has been very good this season, so I can't complain too much. I'm sure the skilled forwards will find the back of the net soon enough

1-0 Kings

[Alfie11]

Down 1-0 after the 2nd period.

The offense really needs to pick it up now. Especially the power play. Several opportunities missed.

[Alfie11]

The Kings goalie is out because of an injury. Budaj is in nets

[Alfie11]

With 8 minutes to go, the score is still 1-0 for LA. Sens creating some chances this period but no results.

Finally

Smith with a great goal and the Sens tie it at 1.

And there you go! Stone with a greasy goal to make it 2-1 Sens with 6 seconds left.

Sens win it 2-1. Karlsson with an underrated play that will get overlooked on the GWG. Instead of driving to the net he holds back as he sees traffic. Because of this, he's able to control the puck and have time with it when it misses everyone and takes a bounce. He then puts it to the net for Stone to score.

[Alfie11]

With the wins the Sens improve to 9-5 on the year and retake second place in the Atlantic Division. Next game is Sunday vs the Wild

Awesome come back. Glad Smith & Stone got some goals :-) Go Sens!!

[Alfie11]

It's a weird feeling to have confidence in the Sens defensively, but the new system has been working really well for them.
