Sens’ Condon gets ‘special’ shutout during father-son trip
NEWARK, N.J. — The father-son trip for the Ottawa Senators turned into something special for goaltender Mike Condon.
Condon made 21 saves in recording his fifth shutout of the season, and his father, Ted, got a gift to commemorate the Senators’ 3-0 win over the New Jersey Devils on Thursday night.
Mike Condon said it was the first time his father has been in attendance for one of his six NHL shutouts.
“I got the puck for him, and that’ll be special, and he’ll have this memory for a long time,” Condon said. “(I) saw the video of him cringing up in the stands during the game. Not easy for goalie dads to be out there watching their kids play, and I can’t even imagine what it’s like. I’m happy to give him a good result.”
