Sens coach Paul MacLean reacts to the loss:
Thoughts from Coach MacLean coming up…
— Ottawa Senators (@NHL_Sens) February 9, 2013
Coach thought Al Montoya played very well for Winnipeg; #Sens generated 80 attempts on goal.
— Ottawa Senators (@NHL_Sens) February 9, 2013
He didn’t think the team played well until after Winnipeg had scored.

FINAL:
Al Montoya earned his 3rd career shutout as the Winnipeg Jets defeated the Ottawa Senators 1-0.
Final Score: #NHLJets 1, #Sens 0 on #HockeyDay. Ponikarovsky’s tip earns the Jets the two points in Ottawa today.

I think the Senators miss Jason Spezza. Just throwing that out there as a #HotTake.

The Winnipeg Jets are the worst penalty killers in the league. The Senators are making them look like worldbeaters. Being booed. #Sens
