What happened

The Senators' western road trip opened with a 4-1 loss in Vegas, then a 6-5 defeat in Los Angeles that fans called "easily their most embarrassing performance of the last 3 years." A clean 5-1 win in San Jose briefly restored faith. The turning point came one night later: a 6-3 loss in Anaheim that sent misery to 96 and Johansson into unflattering comparisons with Ersson. The power play drew constant grief. "No health. No offense. No goaltending," one fan wrote, which leaves remarkably little left to defend.
