SUNRISE, FLA. — - The sun was shining on the Ottawa Senators as they returned to the ice at the BB&T Center on Monday night.

The Senators have a record of 26-15-6, their 58 points allowing them to sit comfortably in second spot in the Atlantic Division after 47 games.
Division-leading Montreal is also within reach.
