The Ottawa Senators (8-5-5) are currently in the midst of a five-game home stand and looking to make up some ground in the Atlantic Division. The Senators dropped their last two games at the Canadian Tire Centre, losing to the New York Rangers in a shootout over the weekend and to the Detroit Red Wings in overtime on Monday.
When it comes to home games, the Senators are 3-3-4 in their 10 games played at the CTC this season.
Head coach Dave Cameron’s team had been putting in a lot of time lately. Nine of Ottawa’s 18 games this season have gone into overtime or a shootout, which places them at the top of the league in that regard.
