With just nine NHL goals to his credit and having spent the first four years of his career in Los Angeles, the younger Spence believes this is the first NHL goal his father will have seen in person making it that much more special.

鈥淚t felt really good,鈥� admitted Spence. 鈥淚 think I鈥檝e had good chances throughout the seven games that I had, especially in the first game, and, you know, obviously putting that in felt really good.鈥�

The 24-year-old, acquired in a trade at the NHL Entry Draft, has been in and out of the lineup but has made the most of his opportunities.

In just his seventh game of the season, Spence started the night paired with Tyler Kleven before being moved up alongside Thomas Chabot, finishing with a season-high 20:01 of ice time.

Spence scored on his first shift with Chabot and went on to play the remainder of the game by his side.

Head coach Travis Green gave credit to assistant coach Nolan Baumgartner for the change. Green said he felt some of the pairings were struggling after the first period and Baumgartner made the switch and it paid off.聽

Chabot said he felt the transition was seamless and the pair did well and credited Spence for his play.

鈥淭he poise he has, the vision, the hockey sense he鈥檚 got is amazing,鈥� Chabot said.聽

Being in and out of the lineup has its challenges and Spence admitted it鈥檚 not always easy.

鈥淚t gets to you mentally sometimes, but, you know, you鈥檝e just to take that aside and just focus on yourself every day when you come into the rink,鈥� Spence said.

鈥淓ither you鈥檙e playing or not. I just want to go out there and practise and even at the gym to just improve on my game and that鈥檚 what I have to do. I just have to have a positive mindset every day.鈥�

Like most players Spence wants to be in the lineup every game. The Senators currently carry seven defencemen and Spence and Nikolas Matinpalo are each fighting for opportunities.

To this point Green seems to be making decisions based on the opponent and what he鈥檚 looking for as far as matchups. Spence, listed at five-foot-11 and 188 pounds is on the lighter side of the six-foot-three, 213-pound Matinpalo.

At the end of the day Spence says he just wants to make the right play and if an opportunity for physicality presents itself, he won鈥檛 shy away.

鈥淵ou know, I鈥檓 not a big guy, but if the hits there I鈥檓 gonna hit,鈥� he said. "And I鈥檝e been like that ever since I was up in the NHL.鈥�

With his father, who calls Prince Edward Island home, here until next Sunday he would love to have the opportunity to play a few more games with his personal cheering squad on hand.
