·36 min·1 clip

Inside our broadcast booth, everybody, Gord Wilson alongside Dean Brown

Inside the booth, Gord Wilson and Dean Brown start with a joke about math and then slide straight into the locker-room news. Ottawa says Thomas Chabot and Lassie Thompson will not return. Travis Green is expected to have an update after the game. The injuries matter because the Senators are back in action the next night in Detroit. The booth wonders if a call-up is already on alert in Belleville. Carter Yakumchuk comes up as a possible name if Ottawa needs more blue-line help. Jake Sanderson is the thin beam of light. He has been skating for about a week, or at least three or four days, and could be one to 10 days away. The game itself turns into a tense third period after Ottawa had led 2-0. The Rangers push back. Ottawa has only a few chances of its own. Shane Pinto gets a shorthanded look and tries to go five-hole. Igor Shosturkin says no. Ty Cartier makes a strong play down the right side. He gets body and stick position on Jordan Spence and shuts down a lane. The Senators are asking a lot of their remaining minutes men. The booth keeps circling back to the forwards needing to help out big time. Reimer gloves down a point shot and holds on. The back-to-back grind keeps looming, with Detroit tomorrow and Pittsburgh on Thursday. The night also marks Ottawa’s 12th set of back-to-backs this season. They have 14 in all. Their record in those stretches keeps getting tracked in real time. The final horn brings a 2-1 Senators win, two points, and a little more ground on Detroit.
