There were a lot of good things for the Senators in tonight's game, but they were all overshadowed by the bad. It's hard to know how bad it is right now. During the second period, Jake Sanderson was hit by Brandon Montour. He left the game with a sprained right shoulder and did not return. Time will tell what the diagnosis is. For now, let's look at the details of the Senators' 7-4 win over the Seattle Kraken.

Foegele's first term as senator
What do you think of Warren Foegele's senatorial debut? Having been traded to Ottawa by the Kings just days earlier, Foegele scored the fifth goal of the game for the Senators. He played on the fourth line with Eller and Zetterlund, playing at full strength, averaging only less than 12 minutes of ice time. As advertised, he came in playing a responsible two-way game while also doing some heavy fore-checking.
pinto's big night
Pinto's final scores tonight were:
- 1 goal, 2 assists, 4 PIM, 17:26 time on ice
The penalty minutes are a little strange from Pinto, but the production is exactly what the Senators need from their two-way center. Pinto is always asked to do the heavy lifting defensively, whether it's killing penalties or attacking the opposition's best line. However, his offense has not been as consistent. Tonight is his first multi-point game since January 1st. It was his first three-point game since the start of the season.
additional comments
Tim Stützle extended his point streak to 12 games, while also scoring 30 goals for the second time in his career. Now let's see if he can score 40 runs. Tyler Kleven has the ability to land a big hit after one of his players gets hit hard. Cleven pounced on Jordan Eberle shortly after Sanderson left the game. Kleven also scored a goal in this game. His cross-check on Jared McCann late in the game was not as good. He ended up with a five-minute major and a game misconduct. Let's hope he doesn't have to face suspension there. Let's also hope that the upcoming Jake Sanderson update is a positive one.
