The Sasaskatoon Saskies dropped their 15th straight game to the Ottawa Senators, losing 5-1.
The game was tied late in the third period when Saskies goaltender Leonid Andreyovoyovich objected to a tripping call by throwing his helmet at the line judge. The Senators were awarded a five minute major and three penalty shots. The Senators convert two of the three penalty shots, while also scoring two goals on the power play.
After the game, Andreyovoyovich told a reporter for TSN, “I no like call. Shit line judge can die.”
Interim Saskies coach Mike Paulsen dismissed the penalty call. “We didn’t play well all night. That was a hiccup in an otherwise craptacular game.”
The loss dropped the Saskies to last in the Western Conference for the second time this season.
The Saskies next face off Thursday night against the visiting Winnipeg Jets. Puck drops at the Sasaskatoon Sasaskadome at 7:30 pm. The Thursday night matchup will feature a Potato Gun souvenir night, brought to you by the Oxbow Herald.
