Senators-Penguins: Ottawa Takes Rematch, Three of Four Points on Opening Weekend

The Ottawa Senators were victorious in their second meeting with the Pittsburgh Penguins in as many days, taking the game 3-1. Dany Heatley scored two goals, giving him a total of three on the weekend. The first period was a defensive battle.  There were no goals scored, and very few scoring chances. It took a five-on-four power play past the halfway point of the second for a goal to be scored. Heatley took a pass from linemate Jason Spezza, and let a wrist-shot go right to the back of the net. Heatley once again tallied on the power play in the third, as he fired a bullet through goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury from the high slot. The Sens capped the game off on a great second-effort from Antoine Vermette, who jammed the puck into the net after being held up on a breakaway attempt by Kris Letang. The Penguins scored their only goal of the game at 19:59 of the third period, as Alex Goligoski took a feed from captain Sidney Crosby and spoiled Alex Auld's shutout bid.   Game Notes  ... (link)
