A major reason for the success of the Sens recently has been the success of their penalty kill. The only two short handed goals allowed were against Carolina and Colorado. Dylan Gambrell and Alex Formenton have scored Ottawa’s first two shorthanded goals of the season as well.
The forwards on the PK, including Formenton, Gambrell, Austin Watson, Nick Paul, and Connor Brown, have all be excellent and their aggressive play style has worked well. They block a lot of shots and force a lot of turnovers, which is why they went 11/11 on the PK against Florida and Tampa the past two games.
