Obviously a HUGE game tonight.
If the Sens can get 2 points, only the Islanders and Tampa would remain as threats lower in the standings with the ability to knock Ottawa out of the playoffs, as Carolina can only finish with a maximum 92 points and Ottawa would have 93.
Possibly more importantly, it would also bump them back into the Atlantic finishers and out of a wild card spot (at least for now) which, as of tonight, would save them a date with Washington and set them up VS either Toronto or Boston, pending the outcome of Toronto's game (go Sabres).
You just know that Red Wings fans would love to see their team spoil Tampa's chances.. that can start with allowing 2 points for Ottawa tonight!
