 OTTAWA (AP) - Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson saw the puck dribbling over the line, but gave it an extra push just in case. The way Buffalo goalie Ryan Miller was playing, Alfredsson didn't take any chances. An opportune bounce that led to Alfredsson's goal and a stifling defensive performance combined to produce Ottawa's 1-0 win over the Sabres on Monday night that gave the Senators a commanding 3-0 lead in the Eastern Conference finals.
"I believe you make your own luck, and I believe if you work hard you're going to get your bounces," Alfredsson said. "We know if we play our game to our best, we're a tough team to beat."
Everything is going the way of the Senators, who host Game 4 on Wednesday and are one win from advancing to their first Stanley Cup final.
