Senators forward scores emotional goal in his return to action
Ottawa Senators forward Josh Norris has been battling a shoulder issue that has caused him to miss extensive time the last two seasons. The 24 year old last played on January 21st against the Winnipeg Jets but left that game with a shoulder injury that he ended up getting surgically repaired.
Norris missed the preseason as well as the first 3 games of the season because he wasn't medically cleared to return but was able to make a highly anticipated return on Wednesday night against the Washington Capitals.
With the score 1-0 Senators in the first, Ottawa went on the powerplay allowing Norris to score his first goal of the season on the power play.

The 19th pick from 2017 added another goal to open the second period, helping the Senators steam roll the Captials 6-1. Ottawa is off to a flying 3-1 start to the season with ever aspect of the roster firing on all cylinders as the young roster looks to make the playoffs for the first time since the 2016-17 season.
