Sens and Bruins last games

[Jasmine]

After last night's game, I went to look up the calendar for both team's remaining games. This is how it looks:

Sens have 12 games left - 7 home games and 5 on the road. They actually end on the road in Phillie.

March
21- Vs Leafs
23- Vs Sharks (should be a fun game to watch)
26- Vs NYR
28- @ Leafs
29- Vs Cats
31- @ Wings

April
2- Vs Bolts
4- Vs Caps
5- @ Leafs
7- Vs Pens
9- @ NYR
11- @ Flyers

Bruins have 11 games left - 4 home games and 7 on the road.

March
21- @ Cats
22- @ Bolts
26- Vs Ducks
28- Vs NYR
29- @ Canes
31- Vs Cats

April
2- @ Wings
4- Vs Leafs
8- @ Caps
9- @ Cats
11- @ Bolts

Should be a very interesting race to the end.

Looking at this side by side and I noticed that on 4 occasions, the team facing the Sens will play the Bruins in their next game. And only once will the Sens face a team that played the Bruins the night before - Leafs on April 4-5.

Tough 4 game stretch up next. Sharks and Rangers sandwiched in between 2 Leafs games. Can't afford to take the Leafs lightly given our recent history in Saturday night games. Rangers are 2nd best in the East (with 3 games in hand on Montreal) for a reason, and the Sharks are no slouches either.

Agreed, not a light schedule by any means. Every game is do or die.

There's really no absolute way to predict what record the Sens will need to make the playoffs (well...12-0 will get them in). With that being said, historically speaking, 8-4 should be good enough to get in.

The Sens will need to approach every game with a must-win attitude like they have been doing. If they do that, I see no reason why they can't go 8-4.

Just doing simple math here, after the Carolina game where we lost 6-3, we would have had to go 21-5-1 to have a shot. Imagine that. 5-21-1 seemed far more likely
