“Definitely happy we got those two points. It was all because of [Hogberg],” the Senators’ Brady Tkachuk said. “He stood in there and had a phenomenal performance. Wish we could’ve lessened the load in the first period, but he just showed everybody how great of a goalie he is.”
Mark Jankowski and Noah Hanifin scored for the Flames.
“When it’s not going in for you, you’ve got to try and manufacture a goal,” Flames coach Geoff Ward said. “I thought that we could’ve done a better job with our traffic tonight. I thought that we could’ve done a better job at trying to get more pucks to the front of the net.”
Connor Brown and Vladislav Namestnikov had two points each for the Sens with a goal.
“A lot of shots in the beginning,” Hogberg said. “I had a good feeling. Just have to keep it rolling now.”
Chris Tierney, Colin White and Brady Tkachuk also scored for the Sens.

“It’s (Calgary offense) absolutely dried up,” Matthew Tkachuk said. “I don’t really have an answer for you or else we would’ve changed it.”
