Silver Nuggets; Kelly traded; King Lehner continues to be hilarious
The Ottawa Senators lost their ninth consecutive home game and are now two away from the franchise record. They also lost their ninth game out of nine in overtime. On the bright side, Alex Kovalev scored Ottawa's first shootout goal of the season. After the game, they also traded Chris Kelly to the Boston Bruins for a second round pick. The Senators now have three centres left on their NHL roster. But the highlight of these nuggets are the quotes from Robin Lehner. I love this guy!
