Senators pick up first win of the season
Posted on October 6, 2009
TORONTO -- The first round of this all-Swedish matchup goes to the veteran.Daniel Alfredsson used a nifty backhand deke to beat compatriot Jonas Gustavsson on a penalty shot and the Ottawa Senators spoiled The Monster's debut with a 2-1 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday night.
The Senators captain is a player Gustavsson grew up idolizing, and he demonstrated why on the game's winning goal. Alfredsson decided on his penalty shot move before stepping on the ice and found himself with a wide open net after fooling the Leafs goalie.
