Senators Block Red Wings’ Historic Sweep Bid in Stunning Showdown
The Senators are having a decent season, but not one that you are going to make a big deal about. They are 37-24-9 for the year with 83 points. As of right now, that puts them on the outside looking in for a Wild Card spot. They are only two points behind the second spot, though. That means there is at least some hope of making the playoffs. For the season, the Senators have pretty decent numbers – probably better than their record indicates. They are averaging 3.33 goals per game and allowing just 3.06 to opponents. What is unique to me is that they are taking five more shots per game than they are allowing. That, to me, should signal that the team should probably be winning more games. They are playing solid hockey at the moment, winning four of their past five games, including three straight. The expectation is that Linus Ullmark will be in the net for the Senators. He is 22-10-7 for the year with a 2.77 goals against per game average and a .885 save percentage.
