As the NHL regular season winds down, the Ottawa Senators have one goal on their mind — get into the playoffs.
With just 10 games remaining the Senators (39-28-5) are in a good spot sitting in the first wild-card berth in the Eastern Conference with an eight-point lead on their competition.
Don`t expect the Senators to ease up. After seven years without a playoff appearance, this group is hungry to finally experience post-season hockey.
“Teams are playing well, obviously teams are pushing, so everyone’s going to bring a good game every night,” said Ottawa’s Shane Pinto. “So, obviously, you have to be on your toes.”
With games scheduled nearly every other day down the stretch, the Senators won’t have much time to dwell on highs or lows — they just need to stay focused on the task at hand.
