Just keep winning.
It’s pretty simple. With exactly one month of regular season hockey left to play, the Ottawa Senators are definitely in the mix. The Sens are surging and there are definitely signs of weakness among the teams currently holding down playoff spots. But as we learned yesterday, you can very rarely expect a perfect night on the out-of-town scoreboard. And so, just keep winning.
The Ottawa Senators host the San Jose Sharks on Sunday evening in Kanata, Ontario.
We’ll assume same lineup as yesterday.
Batherson-Stützle-Giroux
Tkachuk-Cozens-Greig
Cousins-Pinto-Amadio
Foegele-Eller-Zetterlund
Chabot-Zub
Kleven-Spence
Gilbert-Matinpalo
Linus Ullmark starts again
