- And for the 100th time this season, and last time of the regular season, this is the biggest game of the season. It's simple. A win, and the Sens are going to the playoffs. An overtime loss, and the Sens are going to the playoffs. A loss, and the Sens will need a little help from Tampa Bay and Buffalo. The Sens had to go 22-4-4 in the final two months of the season to get to the point where they control their own destiny on the final day of the season ... and they did it. A once 2% playoff chance can turn into reality tonight.
- Hammond vs Mason. Hammond is 19-1-2 and is a no-brainer to start for the Sens.
- The season series is split - both teams have a shootout win. In both games, the Sens got the first goalie, but the Flyers tied it and sent it to a shootout.
- A win guarantees the Sens either the 7th seed (1st wildcard) or the 3rd divisional spot. This would mean the Sens play the Montreal Canadiens or Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round of the playoffs.
- Who's hot? Mark Stone. 11 points in his last 8 games and has put the team on his back. Turns also has 11 points in his last game. Bobby Ryan is ice cold, with only one goal since March 6th. He has just one point in his last 9 games. Andrew Hammond is coming off a shutout in New York.
