From the Ottawa Sun, after last night’s 7-1 victory against Tampa Bay, If Milan Michalek didn’t already feel at home in Ottawa, the welcome wagon yelled its approval last night. ... It was Michalek’s first career hat trick and he became the second Senators player to score two short-handed goals in a game (Marian Hossa did it against Florida on Nov. 18, 2000) . “It’s awesome. It was great to see everybody standing and clapping for me,” said Michalek. “It’s a great feeling. Hopefully, there are more goals to come. I’ve had a lot of games with two goals. It was sure nice to get a hat trick.” ... “We know what we’re capable of doing. On any given night, if we’re playing the way we should be by playing a smart defensive game and honing in on our opportunities, we should be able to score goals. We proved that. It can come from anyone. You saw every line scoring and that’s the type of team we are. We’ve got depth. It’s nice to get a complete win.” Clearly they won’t be letting any of this go to their heads.
