Well, that was fun.
The Sens’ winning streak reached another level tonight. The first three wins could have been chalked up to good puck luck, the Islanders loss proved that they’re still human, and the Lightning win was maybe a sign that this was the real Ottawa Senators, but you could still make the argument that it was an outlier.
But this game? Rolling into Florida to face a second-place Panthers team that’s put up a staggering 14-1-0 record at home? This was the real test.
And my goodness, did the Ottawa Senators pass it.
