A game that had that back and forth feeling to it with both net minders giving up more than a few. The Hawks had reach back not in regulation or extras but in a shootout to get this "W". It came on a Patrick Sharp game-winner as he was the only one of six to "Light the Lamp" in the shootout shooting 8th.

The Sens score in the 1st behind a Mark Stone goal only to see the Indian Head take the 2-1 lead after the 1st intermission behind Captain Serious and Kris Versteeg goals. Clarke MacArthur of the Sens tied the game in the 2nd beating Hawks net minder Scott Darling and that would be the only goal in the 2nd.

The 3rd frame was highlighted by four goals as the Hawks Captain Serious scored his 2nd of the night with Marian Hossa giving the Hawks a 4-3 lead late and notching his 1,000th career point in doing so. The Sens though struck with under three minutes to play on a Mika Zibanejad goal tying the game at 4-4 sending it into extras.

The Hawks had their chances ending the game in extras on a 4-3 advantage on the power play and they could not get the puck in net. The Hawks were 0/5 on the power play as the Sens were 1/6.

It was Patrick Sharp after all five players missed in the shootout Patrick Sharp beat Sens net minder Craig Anderson for the winner. Anderson stopped 35 of 39 SOG with the Hawks Darling halting 28-32.

The Indian Head moves to 6-3-1 with 13 points. The Sens fall to 5-2-2 with a dozen points. Hawks will get the Leafs on Saturday November 1st in the Gardens!
