The Ottawa Senators have a hill to climb over tonight if they want to get out of the hole they’re in.
The New Jersey Devils are the hottest team in the East right now, with seven wins in a row and a record of 9-1-0 in their last 10. Their underlying stats are rock solid too, leading the league in 5v5 xGF% and second in CF%. Looks like it could be a repeat of the puckbath we saw in Florida, but also looks like the setup for a pretty good Sensing.
The big news on the Senators side of things is the waiving of Nikita Zaitsev.
