NHL Highlights | Senators vs. Sabres – March 27, 2024

Tage Thompson is on a five-game streak, aiming to close the production gap after a great year last season. We’re underway with Sco Bank Wednesday Night Hockey on Sports S as the puck is dumped into the Buffalo Zone. Zack Benson retrieves it, gets it across to Henry Yi Haru, but he can’t clear it out. Power gets it back for Yi Haru, but it’s too far for Jack Quinn, who’s back for Buffalo tonight, starting the lineup.

NHL Highlights March, 27 2024

They battle for the puck along the boards. Com three for Ow and Power plays it across to Yi H with a shot off the blocker of Coro, who covers it up in the crease. Off with the puck, drops it off for K, tries to get it to the point, now does for Tim SCA feeds it down low, and a sharp-angled shot knocked away by Luc. As a result, they’re getting more wins, though it’s tough to see this team making the playoffs. A quick snapshot right off the draw from Jeff Skinner, grabbed by Corpos Solo.

A lot of changes; their Captain was traded, middle Scy was traded for Byrum. If you’re a player in these games and you don’t think they mean anything, take a second look because there are people watching, and there will be changes in both these organizations.

Lifton with a shot from the point, Corpus out, and a goal against, snapping a 26-game goal St. Sanderson walks along the line, pumps it off into the corner, Morris Kachuk got it, and Font scores! The puck got to the line; did it sneak over before Zoom touched it? They’re having the discussion, but either way, it’s one-nothing.

I think this is in before Zu gets to it. Rotation of the puck, walking along the line; this is what I love about Sanderson, such great mobility, and that shot is tipped by Castell, right out in front of the net, and it leaks through. Zack Benson’s there to backhand it in, knocked down by Shabbat, pressured by Cousins, thrown around the boards by Branstrom. Yoki Haru from the point will snap it on, and Corpasalo swallows it up.

Parker Kelly on the Counterattack for Boris Pachu, back to Kelly with a shot that got blocked. And Yoki Haru will move it off for Greenway on Power. Here’s the P before Kelly got to him; Kelly with a shot scores! Boris Kachuk might have tipped that one in front; it’s off the post and in.

The Ottawa Senators have a two-nothing lead as Boris Kachuk has got his first goal with Ottawa. Then the saber goes back in their own end; Greenway throws it behind the net, and Power doesn’t get anything on this; he gets nothing on it, and it goes off the skate of Cast, and then bang, stepping right out into the middle of the ice.

Well, that’s for secondary scoring and the importance of getting the puck hard around the wall in your end. If it doesn’t get around hard, often times it turns into a pretty good chance for your opponent. That one there they pulled out of their own net, good shot centered in front, PS waiting; it scores! Drake PS tucks it in around Ling, what a start for AWA, it’s three-nothing.

Sanders gets it around the wing, and Joseph on it at Center for Reilly, Craig ahead for Kumik, he’s in alone and stopped by LC. Now a break the other way, Payton C stopped by Troso. Bumped to the corner, Kelly played it away.

Here’s Conor Clippin, played to the net, gone in, B reaching C and got just enough, for some help from his defense to keep it out, with the stick coming across the goal line, keeps it out of the net. What goes after it and mistakes create scoring chances; we’ve seen a lot of them. Now it’s Pinto, wa it for CH, he’ll tee it up and scores! Jacob CH goals and back-to-back games, and it’s four-nothing Ottawa.

That’s going to be the night for Uko Pekka Lucin, and Levi is coming in, and then that leads to this, down low again they lose the battle. Pinto throws it out to Chan, and below the goal line, the Buffalo Sabers move to the middle, gives it off. Now it’s KU with it, Saturday B great chance there for PTO, and he’s denied by the Blocker of Lou.

How this with Kubalik to Pinto and good save thereon, didn’t know it was right behind him, he was looking for it. Cik will move it across, penalty coming up to Buffalo. Parker Kelly skates it in with a shot, Levi the same rebound, Bernard docker gets it up to Kelly, and Kuk is going to the net, and if the shots there take it. I like the fact that he takes the shot, little drop attack, shabbats it across.

Pinto dancing his way to the Buffalo line, brings it in, Sanderson hands it off for shat, back to Sanderson, the Chuck parked in front, and now he’s got the puck, and he scores! Brady K Chuck tips it in by Dein Levi, nice little redirect after causing the traffic in front, and he’s made it five-nothing on AWA. Have a handle on it and nice little shovel passes too.

Pinto buys some time, little pitching catch with Shabbat, back to Sanderson, and then down along the wall to Pinto, and it’s a right away, you cannot wait. And when Shabbat gets that puck, he knows he has Kachuck right away, he can’t wait either. I mentioned the quickness of the passes; they just did not look like they were ready to go.

Fifth time in franchise history for the Ottawa Senators, they’ve scored five goals in the first period, it’s the first time in and it seems to be working. They seem to be open quite a bit per back to the pocket, the corner knocked Away by Sanderson, here’s Tock shooting kicked out by Coro, rebound the C scores!

JJ Cirka gets his long his career goal streak, he’s got four goals, his 25th of the Season. He brings it into the zone, and then him and Sanderson are going at it, and there it’s going to go D to D, and there’s the rebound, a real large one at that, and you hate to see your goal tender kick rebounds right out into the front.

Not he want those rebounds to go to the corners, and he inadvertently kicks that one out in front off the tuck shot, and PKA’s right there coming off the wall, he buries it. Dalen for Thompson, paage Thompson wait got it down low, tuck across, great save made by Corello, as he slides across to deny one-timer that didn’t work out remember Thompson in the first, and then petka there couldn’t get it to goal.

But now they’re going to come down low to tuck and then right across the priest on the backhand. You see Sanderson he goes down to take away as much ice as he possibly can. CH play to pour Shabat.

Up by T PS on the PCK. PKR goes after him. They’ll see to center. It’s a B sail at the follow-up season so we’re only at seven, so a lot of averages will say we’re due for at least one more, maybe a couple, to wrap up this season series.

Here’s Joi Haru with it, Horis Kachuk going after it but Ri hands it off, and now he comes up with a save H play ored front again, Kachuk got a great chance for Thompson. P Thompson and his pass for Kik will connect for Joseph. Joseph streaking in and the stop is made by Levi but he is playing big since he’s come in as he does a wonderful job here on Joseph.

Lcks his feed to burn he tries to go far side that’s a great himself a 5 nothing lead and little Bobble in the second period but they’ve actually come out and played a pretty good solid third period.

CH to Center pass across PTO for the empty net and scores his first career four-point game and he finishes it off with his eighth goal of the season to do it three helpers in the first and right here Chan lays this up the ice and bson lays it across he knows Pinto’s there and he just kind of puts it out in an area something where he can skate into it he does get cradles it onto his forehand but a really good first period they come out in the third they establish their game plan again and it’s a really good road victory for the Ottawa Senators a place that hasn’t been friendly the road for them and they’ve gotten some big road victories of late one in New Jersey one here in Buffalo.
