Next 5 Games

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

The rest of the season seems like it will be an insane grind especially with 3 of the last 6 games against CBJ and MTL but these next 5 seem critical in us getting separation with 4 being against divisional rivals and 3 against teams we fighting a spot with.

What record do you think we will have:

Wings @ Sens
Sens @ Flyers
Bruins @ Sens
Sens @ Leafs
Sens @ Habs

My picks:

Wings @ Sens W
Sens @ Flyers W
Bruins @ Sens W
Sens @ Leafs L
Sens @ Habs OTL

3-1-1

5 regular time wins, and they will score 4 or more in each game and allow 2 or fewer in each game.

Wings @ Sens - W
Sens @ Flyers - W
Bruins @ Sens - W
Sens @ Leafs - W
Sens @ Habs - W

The flyers game is the one that worries me.

Famous last words maybe but I feel like this team has genuinely put it all together at this point so I’ll say 4-1-0, but that is also dependent on Ullmark finding his form.

Loss against the Leafs.

Yeah, some of the teams we're playing to close out the season are in a similar position with Ottawa, but I wouldn't call it an insane grind. I know it's not a guarantee of anything and it's been said many times, but the remaining quarter of the season schedule is hugely favourable to Ottawa.

What happens over the next 5 games is important for sure, but all this "must win" and "every game is like game 7" hyperbole is just that - hyperbole. If they lost yesterday it wouldn't have been the end of anything, in spite of how certain fans would've been somersaulting off the top of the peace tower.

I do want them to thoroughly humiliate Detroit on Monday though.

It's going to be a dogfight till the end, but if we can just manage to be in a playoff spot with three games to go I will finally feel good. The last three games of the season are at home against Philly, Chicago and Carolina. Last game for Carolina, so I imagine they will take things easy in preparation for the playoffs.
