The losses, and the injuries, are piling up on the Senators.
Where will it stop? Nobody knows.
The Senators were looking for redemption after an ugly 6-3 loss to the New Jersey Devils Thursday as they returned to the Canadian Tire Centre Friday night. While they were better, they weren’t nearly good enough in a 5-2 loss to the New York Islanders to open a three-game homestand in front of 18,305.
And, if that wasn’t enough for Ottawa, already without centre Kyle Turris likely until after next week’s NHL all-star break, they lost winger Milan Michalek for a second time this season after he broke a hand blocking a shot in the second period.
