Ottawa Senators Summary

The Ottawa Senators faced a tough battle against the Detroit Red Wings, ultimately falling 4-3 in overtime on Sunday. Alex DeBrincat, who has been a standout for the Red Wings, scored the overtime winner just 36 seconds into the extra period, marking his team-high 26th goal of the season.

The Senators have struggled recently, with a record of 4-6-2 in their last 12 games, largely attributed to issues in goalkeeping as noted by defenseman Jake Sanderson, who remarked that goaltenders need to make more than 10 saves to secure a victory.

James Reimer made his season debut for the Senators but faced challenges in the matchup, as the team continues to grapple with their performance levels. This game highlighted ongoing difficulties for Ottawa, particularly in the crease, as they seek to regain their footing in the league.
