The Senators added on with a Jason Spezza goal, his sixth of the season, coming on the power play via Chris Phillips and Erik Karlsson. Ottawa extended the lead with a Bobby Ryan power play goal, his fifth of the year, powered by Joe Corvo and Kyle Turris. Jonas Gustavsson relieved Howard at this time. Detroit got on the board as Todd Bertuzzi scored his third of the season, a power play goal, fueled by Henrik Zetterberg and Niklas Kronwall. The Senators replied in the second period on a Spezza goal in the second period, his second of the game and seventh of the year, passed from Karlsson and Marc Methot. Ottawa padded the lead in the third period as Jared Cowen scored his second of the season, with the help of Zack Smith. The Senators wrapped it up at 6-1 with another Ryan goal, his second of the game and sixth of the year, made possible by Clarke MacArthur and Turris. The three stars were Spezza, Ryan, and Karlsson, while Turris gets an honorable mention.

The other game comes from Buffalo, where the Sabres welcome the Boston Bruins. Chad Johnson and Ryan Miller draw the starts. Boston opened with a first period Milan Lucic goal, his fourth of the season, assisted by Jarome Iginla and David Krejci.
