Sens beat Sabres in shootout
Posted on December 26, 2009
Neither weather nor the absence of two of their top offensive players could stop the Ottawa Senators.Alex Kovalev and Mike Fisher scored in the shootout, and the Senators beat the Buffalo Sabres 3-2 on Saturday night after being stuck in Ottawa the entire morning.
The Senators, who didn't land in Buffalo until around noon after their flight was delayed because of freezing rain, rebounded from an 8-2 loss Wednesday night at Pittsburgh. They played their first game without both captain Daniel Alfredsson and Jason Spezza, who has been out with a knee injury.
