The Blue Jackets made the trip up to Ottawa to kick off a stretch of three games in four days riding a three-game win streak. They were also seeking some retribution for the 7-3 whooping the Senators laid on them last month in Nationwide Arena.
As the game started, there were not a ton of chances. It took the Sens almost 11 minutes just to register a shot. Boone Jenner went to the box 7:16 into the period on a chintzy slashing call. The PK was strong and has been for the last couple weeks now. Kevin Connauton scrapped with Curtis Lazar for his second career NHL fight which was more of a wrestling match.
