Daigle scores 4 as Team Alfie stomps Team Phillips in Sens alumni game

Alexandre Daigle scored four times as Team Alfredsson beat Team Phillips 12-3.

Alexandre Daigle stole the show on a snowy Friday night on the Canada 150 Rink in the nation’s capital during the Ottawa Senators split-squad Alumni Classic at Parliament Hill.

The first-overall pick from the 1993 NHL Draft had a four-goal game, something he never did in his 616-game NHL career, and Team Alfie trounced Team Phillips 12-3.

The game took place one day before the Senators host the Montreal Canadiens in the 2017 Scotiabank NHL 100 Classic outdoors at Lansdowne Park.

Daniel Alfredsson and Chris Phillips, the two longest-tenured Senators, chose their teams Thursday and served as captains. The game was broadcasted on local Rogers TV and streamed on Facebook.

Chris Neil, one day after officially announcing his retirement from professional hockey, scored a late goal for Team Phillips as he beat former teammate Patrick Lalime in close. Phillips joked afterwards that the final score didn’t matter because when you’re playing outside the “last goal wins” rule applies.

By all accounts it was a special night and there were smiles all around.

Here are some images from the game.
