GDT - Game #39: Oilers @ Sens, Jan 8, 2017, 7:00pm

The following game, we host the Leafs on Saturday, and the Leafs are playing on Friday in New York. The soft schedule continues.

The game after that we fly to St. Louis for the Tuesday game. The blues, meanwhile, are on a short 3-game road trip, playing the Ducks on Sunday before coming home. First home game after a road trip, one less day to recover. Again, could be very beneficial to the City Ottawa Senatores.

It's the league I tell ya! They're out to get us!

Bruins have played five more games than we have. A bye week is only 5 days off, that only accounts for 2 games. Stupid NHl.

The scheduling this year has been ridiculous. Way to blow.

The Sens are getting a ton of games where their opponent is playing the second of back to back nights. I haven't done the math to see how it compares to other teams, though. Maybe because of the WCoH and the mandated 5 days off the schedule is compressed for everyone.

Sens have a total of 13 sets of back to back games. Penguins and Sharks have 15 each. Same for Montreal. Lightning have 16, brutal.
