These two games were a statement. After wrecking the Red Wings 6-2 yesterday, the Senators followed up with a more dominant 6-1 victory today. This included two goals from none other than Austin Watson. It may be coming just too late, but the Sens are making a real push for the playoffs.
Expectations were always going to be high coming off a 6-2 win. I think even the homerest of Sens fans would admit though that there was no way they were going to come out of the gate and continue that dominance. Besides, tonight starting goalie Ville Husso was in net instead of Sens legend Magnus Hellberg.
