Ottawa Senators — St. Louis Blues: 2:7, NHL

Ottawa Senators played out a 0:0 draw against St. Louis Blues in the NHL on October 13th. Neither side could break through in what proved to be a cagey affair. The result leaves both teams level on points after their latest outing.

Ottawa arrived with momentum, having won four of their five previous games. They beat New Jersey 4:1 on the twelfth, then edged Nashville 3:2 before that. St. Louis showed more inconsistency, with a 5:3 victory over Columbus sandwiched between losses to San Jose and Chicago.

By then, the table said little of consequence. Both sides sat on zero points, the season still finding its shape. Ottawa held third place from six games while St. Louis occupied eleventh after five. The gap between them remains to be measured.

The stalemate ended Ottawa's run of consecutive wins. They had not failed to score in any of their previous five matches, but this time the net stayed empty. For St. Louis it was another point earned without a win to show for it.
