Leading 3-1 with 1:28 remaining in regulation the Senators (5-2-2) appeared to be in control and on their way to victory, but a late meltdown cost them two points. Mark Recchi, playing in his 1,500th NHL career game, made it 3-2 as he tipped in Derek Morris's shot. Then, with 21.6 seconds remaining, David Krejci tied the game as he found himself all alone in front.
