NHL Tuesday: Senators save season with comeback win

Ottawa needed a win. Badly. Otherwise, their season was in peril.

So it makes sense that after getting down 3-1 in the third period on Tuesday, the Senators scratched and clawed their way to a tie game with just over a minute left in regulation. At that point they had regained the momentum they’d collected over the last few weeks. The snowball was back rolling down the mountain, and it was only a matter of time until Mark Stone scored the game-winner in overtime.

Reaves’ hand did make contact with Perreault head, which sent Perreault woozily to the locker room.

Just ten seconds into the game, the NHL’s points leader slapped a big statement home.

You think Crosby wants to make the playoffs?
