The Ottawa Senators are grappling with their fifth consecutive loss after a 4-3 defeat to the Vancouver Canucks. Despite a late-game surge with goals from Claude Giroux and Tim Stutzle, early mistakes proved costly.

Coach Travis Green emphasized the need for consistency, particularly after the team struggled to capitalize on a major penalty against the Canucks. Brady Tkachuk's absence due to penalties raised questions about his impact on the game.

With the Senators sitting near the bottom of the Eastern Conference, players like Josh Norris are feeling the pressure as they seek to regain their footing.
