Victory was the only option for the Ottawa Senators on Friday night.

Coming off a 5-4 overtime win over the Penguins on Wednesday, coach D.J. Smith made only one change by inserting winger Mathieu Joseph, who made his return after missing 17 games with a leg injury and then being scratched for a breaking a team rule. Smith opted to go back to Cam Talbot in this one. He gave up four goals on 19 shots Wednesday and has struggled mightily this month. Talbot came into this game with a 1-3-0 record in four appearances in January with a 3.80 goals-against average and a .851 save-percentage.
Trying to get back into this one in the third, Jake Guentzel’s second of the night at 6:13 was a gift from the Senators. Trying to throw a pass across to Crosby, the puck took an unfortunate bounce off Jacob Bernard-Docker’s stick and it beat Talbot upstairs. “I think that’s a first,” Tkachuk said when asked by TSN after the second period if he’d ever scored with one glove on before?
