The Sens are starting to realize their role as spoilers and will no doubt play their hearts out to close out the season and prepare for next season. Oddly enough, quite a few of the bottom feeders have been playing quite well of late and could make for a tight race to finish the season. The Sens mounted what looked to be a nice come back in Boston, but fell short. Lack of a 60-min effort was their downfall. The Penguins are battling to remain in a playoff position. The bottom of the East is as tight as it comes with two points separating 5th from 8th. Florida and Buffalo are on the outside looking in, and not too far away.

BLACK AND BLUE REPORT
SENATORS: C Pascal Leclaire (ankle), out for season; D Jason Smith (knee), out indefinitely; D Alexandre Picard (knee), likely out for season; C Cody Bass (shoulder surgery), out for season.
PENGUINS: RW Petr Sykora (shoulder), is expected to return today; D Philippe Boucher (foot), two weeks; C Mike Zigomanis (shoulder), out for season.
NOTEWORTHY
BOSTON -- Senators RW Chris Neil felt fine after his first game back from missing 15 with a lacerated calf, but he'll now have to deal with another laceration when he goes up against the Penguins today. Neil cut a knuckle on his right hand when he connected with one of Milan Lucic's teeth in his first-period fight with the Bruin ... Mathieu Garon will start in goal for the Penguins. He has appeared in only two games, and made just one start, since being acquired from Edmonton Jan. 17. In the start, he gave up five goals on 26 Toronto shots ... Garon was the losing goalie when the Senators beat the Oilers 3-2 in Edmonton Dec. 30, which means he was also the victim of D Brian Lee's first NHL goal, which was the winner ... The Penguins are 8-1-1 in their last 10.
ESPN's Stats Comparison:
