Forty-one down, fifty-seven to go.
Yes, you read that right. That’s 41 regular-season games where the Ottawa Senators make a surprise run and squeak into the playoffs, and then proceed to sweep four different teams to win their first-ever Stanley Cup. Alexis Lafreniere, you say? Never heard of him. Anyway, that run starts tonight against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The Bolts are currently holding down the 3rd seed in the Atlantic Division with a 22-13-4 record, however they are only a up single point on the Florida Panthers, with a game in hand.
