NHL: Late goal from Alfredsson gives Sens 1-0 lead after one in Game 4

Ottawa, ON (Sports Network) - Daniel Alfredsson scored with just 0.3 seconds to play in the first period to help the Ottawa Senators take a 1-0 lead after in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup finals at Scotiabank place.
Anaheim leads the series, 2-1.
With the clock winding down and Ottawa skating on the power play after a goaltender interference on Ryan Getzlaf, Mike Fisher grabbed the puck at the low right boards and sent it behind the net to Peter Schaefer, who immediately fired it to the low right circle where Alfredsson one-timed it into the top left corner.
Ottawa thoroughly dominated the first period and outshot the Ducks, 13-2.
Ottawa grabbed control early as Anaheim continued its undisciplined play from Game 3 with a pair of penalties that led to two Senators power plays.
Another good opportunity for Ottawa came on the second power play when Antoine Vermette had a pair of shots down low, but Jean-Sebastien Giguere came up with two nice saves to keep the game scoreless about six minutes in.
A little after an Anaheim power play, which Ottawa killed off easily, Jason Spezza fired a centering pass from the right circle that Dany Heatley redirected on net, but Giguere came up with a sliding pad save.
The Ducks didn't even get their first shot on net until the 11:25 mark of the first when Corey Perry fired a shot on net the Ray Emery easily stopped.
Anaheim had its first good chance on a 2-on-1 with around seven minutes to play. Perry blasted a shot from the left circle that beat Emery, but it hit off the right post.
