At the end of the day youve got to win the special teams battle or tie it to give yourself a chance. Usually were pretty good, but we just werent able to shut those guys down for some reason.Senators coach Guy Boucher said his teams slow start was the difference.Thats what killed us, thats what sank us, Boucher said. I think our guys showed, like usual, a resiliency in coming back and we wanted it to be a one-goal game coming into the third so we did that. So we were only one goal behind, but then we didnt get the goal.OReilly extended Buffalos lead to 5-3 with a power-play goal with 3:17 left.Hoffman got the Senators within one on the games fifth power-play goal with 1:31 remaining to complete his hat trick with his seventh of the season, but that was as close as Ottawa got.Trailing 3-1, Stone got the Senators within one on a power-play goal at 8:20 of the second after pouncing on a loose puck.
