“Everyone elevated tonight,” Tkachuk told reporters in Toronto. “Those are rivalry games and there’s a lot of emotion, a lot of energy and I think our guys played a hell of a game.” Early in the third, Tkachuk scored his second of the game to give the Senators a commanding 5-2 lead, and Giroux put some late icing on the celebratory cake with another pretty goal on Samsonov following a steal in the neutral zone.Article content
Before the second period was finished, Batherson, now playing on the third line alongside Shane Pinto and Brassard, ripped a shot past Samsonov to give the Senators their two-goal cushion. After he was traded to Ottawa and signed a four-year deal before the 2020-21 season, Murray never found a rhythm with the Senators, battling inconsistency and a bizarre run of injuries. He even spent time in Belleville of the American Hockey League after clearing waivers during his second season. All told, he went 15-25-3 in his two uncomfortable seasons with Senators, but, after Ottawa swallowed 25 per cent of his remaining contract, the Maple Leafs took a gamble by trading for him.
While Murray sat on the bench during the game, Keefe said that he would have been unable to play if Samsonov had also suffered an injury and that an emergency goaltender would have had entered the game.
