Games tonight affecting Sens

[HSF]

If we can find a way to sit Ullmark out of the 4 Nations, then we will have a huge benefit in rest compared to most of the teams we are chasing, with only Brady in the tournament.

Look at how many players Toronto(4), Tampa(5), Florida(8), Boston(4) will have in this tournament, while our guys get 2 weeks off to rest up.

I think two extra weeks of hockey for their stars will help us later in the season.

Ullmark has had a lot of time off. Maybe extra reps at the 4 nations will be good

Ullmark has missed so much hockey that I won’t stand in his way to represent his country and play some high intensity hockey, provided he is fully healthy.

Nah better to have practice with less risk and more control given risk/reward. Brady should also stay home and practice hard. Nobody will remember the 4 nations tournament, probably the most meaningless tournament ever involving nhl players

Carolina 0 Chicago 1 in 1st period

Nylander!

 

[SensFactor]

if the 1967s can hold on for the win, we could be in 3rd place with a win tomorrow night against the Rangers!

He probably won’t play, Markstrom will likely be the starter.

It won't be meaningless, because some team is going to get Hasek'd by the tournament.

Given our franchise luck streak I wouldn’t bet against that being us.

Sens rocket from 17th to 9th in the TSN power rankings. Logic is that the Sens are now 10th in goal differential.

Edmonton Oilers No. 1, Ottawa Senators the biggest riser in latest NHL Power Ranking | TSN

While Ottawa's ranking may seem high, given the team is 15th in points percentage, the model is putting a lot of faith in this team being a legitimate playoff team.

3M long term for Paul was a great deal for Tampa

If the Pens can lose to LA and Canes lose to Chicago it would make my night

Canes aren't really a concern for us, they are pretty locked into a div spot. Doesn't hurt for them to lose I guess, still lots of season left and I guess CLB or NYR could pass them, but they are super low on the list of teams I'm worried about, just a slight notch above western Conference teams.
