The Ottawa Senators face the Calgary Flames with both teams looking to leap into playoff spots in the final weeks of the season. The Senators have a 33-27-4 record and are a few points behind a wild card spot in the Eastern Conference while the Flames have a 29-24-13 record and with only three wins in their last 10 games have fallen out of playoff position in the Western Conference. Both teams look to gain ground in the playoff picture and the upcoming game should be a great one as a result.
The Senators are having a promising season with their offense leading the way, scoring 3.16 goals per game. Tim Stützle, Brady Tkachuk, and Claude Giroux have scored 84 goals and 115 assists to lead the top two lines but the rest of the offense has also been great. Alex DeBrincat, Drake Batherson, and Shane Pinto have combined for 57 goals and 77 assists while defenseman Thomas Chabot has added nine goals and 26 assists from the point to open up the offense.
The offense has been great but the defense has struggled, allowing 3.16 goals per game. Jake Sanderson and Thomas Chabot have combined for 5. defensive point shares but the rest of the unit has struggled, allowing opponents to carry the puck into the offensive zone and find open shots on the net with ease. The hope is that goaltender Kevin Mandolese can step up as he's expected to start but has saved 75 shots this season in two games.
