BAH! Van wins in OT.

That was some crazy knuckler.

yeah the sens kept up, it's a good effort.

Negative: lost the extra point

Positive: Rundblad can come back in

Sens are playing some great, solid hockey. A lot of notables but I like Condra, Z.Smith, Michalek, Greening a lot tonight at forward.

On D - thought Cowen, Kuba really stood out.

Diddle they gotta shoot more on the pp. That said, great game by the sens and it's thanks to some terrific saves by Auld.

3-1-1 road trip so far. Pretty damn good. Now, is it dacosta's time to head down?

It's Karlsson, I swear that guy has stopped shooting completely. He needs to accept those passes and hammer them, the rest will be all instinct, but he's literally doing everything but shoot and he needs to badly.

As for Da Costa, I would have said yes, but who takes over 2C? Foligno? I doubt Mac wants to break up the Z.Smith, Condra, Daugavins line, and as much as I really like Winchester's game, I don't know about that either, so...?

They gotta work on entering the zone. They were all over the place tonight. The PP looked absolutely brutal.

At this point, I'm for winchester being 2C. It works out perfectly till Regin is healthy, and winch is playing some good hockey (I.e. He's already got macleans trust)

Foligno played 2C for all of the third. The lines were:

Greening-Spezza-Butler
Michalek-Foligno-Alfie

I like the Michalek - Foligno - Alfredsson line though - and it gives an opportunity to have Butler up there for a bit.

Yeah, not sure if that was temporary or if MacLean would try that from the faceoff on. I don't recall Foligno taking any faceoffs.

While I wouldn't want to break up the 3rd line either, I think ZSmith would be better at 2C than Winch. I could be wrong, but I think he'd be more productive in that role. I guess we'll see what happens.

I look forward to Regin's return, he was awesome before he got hurt and the 2nd line has the potential to be really solid.

I like smith too. He got lots of pp time as well. As for foligno, he was meh at center. He's found his niche as a winger Imo and would look good with smith on the 3rd. We'll see if guess, there's plenty of time for coaching staff to decide. I think the young guns and alfie can use the break

Beep! Ottawa back into 8th seed, Washington bounced.
