Giroux scores four points as Ottawa closes in on Detroit
he Ottawa Senators have waited a long time to play a meaningful game and Monday night they rose to the challenge beating the Detroit Red Wings 6-2 in the front half of a back-to-back series.
With the win the Senators now trail the Red Wings by two points making Tuesday’s rematch critical for both teams to stay within the pack of six teams all battling for position in the tight Eastern Conference wild-card race. “Too many penalties,” said Detroit coach Derek Lalonde. “That team will lose to nobody in the league if you give them six power plays.
Batherson tied the game midway through the period with his 12th power-play goal of the season. Giroux gave Ottawa the lead when he broke in alone, and while he fanned on the shot after being hooked by Gustav Lindstrom, it was enough to fool Hellberg and beat him five-hole.
