GAME DAY #63: Senators @ Flames - 10:00 pm - Saturday, Feb 27 2016
The Sens' march to the playoff got stalled on the West Coast as Ottawa gave up three third period goals in a 5-3 (empty-netter) loss to Vancouver. Nobody expected them to go 25-0 down the stretch, so a loss here and there is expected. In fact, if they continue to win 4 and lose 1 the rest of the way they will have 96 points and, most likely, a playoff spot. But this was a winnable game against a team "in disarray" according to Pierre, and any game where you give up a third period loss hurts more than just the two points -- at the very least you'd expect to get a loser point.
OK, let's see what this team is made of.
P.S. Both Turris and Zibanejad did not practice, with Wamsley calling it a maintenance day. We know Turris is skating on a bad ankle, but no idea what's wrong with Zibanejad.
