However, the excitement of the game was dampened by a serious injury sustained by Derrick Brassard, a forward for the Senators, in the late second period. Brassard was driving towards the Flyers' defence when his skates got entangled with one of their defenders, causing him to lose balance and fall awkwardly on the ice. The fall was so severe that his leg twisted at an alarming angle, which appeared quite gruesome to the spectators.
The injury was a major blow to the Senators as Brassard is an integral part of their team. The extent of the injury and the estimated duration of his absence from the game is yet to be determined by the medical team. Fans of the Senators and hockey enthusiasts are waiting anxiously for updates on his condition and hoping for a speedy recovery.
