LOS ANGELES — It’s not about how you start, it’s about how you finish.

As the Ottawa Senators made their way out of the Crpto.com Arena Sunday night, they were wearing wide smiles after a 3-2 overtime victory over the Los Angeles Kings at the Staples Center before the long flight home Monday morning.Sign up to receive daily headline news from Ottawa Citizen, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.

“Hopefully, that’s a trend that continues moving forward and winning is always fun. Especially in that fashion, the way we did it makes it feel even better but we’ve got to keep getting better and focus on the next one coming up here.” “It was a great pass to me and I just had an opportunity to get going,” said Giroux, who scored his first game-winner since signing with the Senators. “I think we played a hard game. We want to be a hard team to play against I think, especially five-on-five, that’s what we did.

“We’ve struggled at times throughout the season and to finish on the road with two big games like that is big for our group,” said alternate captain Thomas Chabot, who returned Friday after missing five games with a concussion. That’s why coach D.J. Smith was so quick to point out that he felt this group “checked” its way out of the three-game losing streak by becoming more difficult to play against.

They got the two points and that’s all that matters. Twice the Kings came back to tie it up but the Senators kept pressing and didn’t get frustrated by a standout effort from goaltender Jonathan Quick.Article content
