'Briere and linemates Maxim Afinogenov and Jean-Pierre Dumont had to face Chara and his defence partner Chris Phillips every time they were on the ice. That was one part of the game that worked well for the Senators, as the line was held to a couple of assists. The problem for Ottawa in the 7-6 overtime loss, though, was that other Sabres like Tim Connolly, Derek Roy and Chris Drury took over the scoring.'
