The Ottawa Senators appear to be a fairly hot commodity in playoff hockey pools across the country.
According to Richard Lee, who operates officepools.com, more poolies have chosen the Senators to be the team from the Eastern Conference to get to the Stanley Cup final than Pittsburgh and Detroit -- and tied with Washington at 4%.
The most commonly chosen eastern team to get to the final is the New York Rangers at 38%, followed by the Sens' first-round rivals the Montreal Canadiens at 24%. Tampa is next at 17% followed by the Islanders at 5%.
