Ottawa 3, Calgary 1; Binghamton 0, Wilkes-Barre 3

Ottawa won its second straight game on the strength of a great game from Craig Anderson.  The team had as many holes defensively as it has all year, but last night those mistakes were covered up.  For the box score go here link.  A look at the goals:
1. Alfredsson (Foligno)
Alfredsson creates the turnover and cashes in Foligno‘s pass in the slot
2. Calgary, Kostopoulos
Anderson turned the puck over and couldn’t recover
3. Butler (Gonchar, Phillips)
A great individual effort from Butler
4. Butler (Winchester, Karlsson)
A shot Kiprusoff probably should have stopped

Top-performers:
Craig Anderson – was fantastic, particularly in the first period
Bobby Butler – finally broke out and scored (with only 8:19 TOI)
Filip Kuba – lead the blueline in ice time and finished +2

There was no one who stood out because of their poor play.  It’s worth noting that Kaspars Daugavins has reached the 10 NHL games required by his contract to prevent him from going to the KHL and Dinamo Riga.

The Binghamton Senators lost their eighth game in a row and desperation has set in.  They were shutout 3-0 and with injuries piling up I have to wonder if the organisation will look to make a move to shake things up.  For the box score go here link, for Joy Lindsay’s game summary go here link.
