Batherson scores in debut as Senators stymie Red Wings in 2-1 victory
OTTAWA — Drake Batherson’s NHL debut couldn’t have gone any better.
The Ottawa Senators rookie scored the game-winner in a 2-1 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday night.
“Coming in today and having all my family here to see my first goal in my first game was a lot of emotion,” said Batherson.
“I was pretty nervous, but more excited, and for that to happen was great. The crowd’s reaction really did it for me. It was pretty loud after that. It’s a day I’ll never forget.”
