The Ottawa Senators don’t have any time to feel sorry for themselves.
The Senators went back to work Monday, the worst playoff loss in franchise history behind them, and their Stanley Cup dream on the verge of being crushed. Now or never. Do or die. Yes, any cliche applies to the challenge the Senators are facing.
Coming off a 7-0 loss to Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday to fall behind 3-2 in the Eastern Conference final, the Senators held a rare 25-minute practice at the Canadian Tire Centre — what could be their final one this season if they can’t force a Game 7 — as they try to stave off elimination in a must-win Game 6 Tuesday night.
