The red-hot Ottawa Senators, winners of one of their last one games, are back at it tonight.
And while most of the experts have relegated the Senators to the role of spoiler, there is something those experts fail to account for.
And that is the possibility that the Senators are just done losing. Eleven points may seem like a lot but what if they just…win all of their remaining games. Didn’t think of that, did ya “experts”?!
Senators and Jets from beautiful Winnipeg Manitoba.
Colin White was placed on the IR this morning so we know he’ll miss at least the next two games. Wouldn’t want to mess with the Arty Party right now anyway.
No game day skate today so we’ll have to wait until 4:20 PM to find if there are other changes planned. Yesterday, the team announced that Erik Gudbransson returned to Ottawa to be with his wife for the birth of their child.
Could mean one of Josh Brown or Erik Brannstrom draws in. We’ll assume Brown for now and get the ball rolling on the Erik Brannstrom outrage.
