OTTAWA - The Ottawa Senators aren’t chasing style points right now, they’re chasing structure.

After an inconsistent start, the team is focused on rediscovering the gritty, disciplined brand of hockey that earned them success last season.

It may not always be pretty, but the Senators (3-4-1) believe that getting back to their identity is the surest way to get their game and their results where they want them to be.

“We still have a lot of work to do but winning, it always feels good, whether you deserved it or not,” Claude Giroux said after his Senators beat the Philadelphia Flyers 2-1 on Thursday.

“I felt like we deserved it, but it’s not always about the results. It’s about getting our game where we want it to be.”
