Kyle Turris fulfilled a childhood dream by scoring the game-winning goal in overtime on Wednesday.
"It was unreal," said Turris. "It was something where you grow up playing in the driveway, tennis balls on the net and the garage, just thinking that one day you'll be in the Stanley Cup playoffs scoring that goal. (Wednesday) night I got lucky that it was me." Thanks to Turris' efforts, the Senators have now tied their first round series at 2. The Senators took a big risk acquiring Turris from the Coyotes in exchange for a second round pick and prospect David Rundblad, but he has done well with Ottawa. Turris had 29 points in 49 regular season games with the Senators and another three points in four playoff contests.
