The Ottawa Senators will have a chance to move into first in the Atlantic division with a win over the Winnipeg Jets tonight. After last night’s decisive 6-3 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs, they now sit two points behind the Montreal Canadiens with three games in hand, and four points ahead of the next best team. With the Habs struggling and the trade deadline approaching, now is definitely a good time for the Sens to make a move and secure an early lead in the playoff race.
The Jets are three points out of a playoff spot in the West with 59 points and are currently on a three game winning streak after a 3-1 victory over Montreal last night.
