The Ottawa Senators are playing a hockey game today. If that sentence seems familiar, it’s because the Sens are on their fifth game this week — and with the rush to finish the regular season after all of the various postponements, you can look forward to an incredible frequency of hockey in the weeks to come. This afternoon, the local heroes are in Washington to take on Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals.
The biggest storyline for Ottawa right now is whether they can break out of a goaless streak that’s hit 157:06 after being shut out again by the Boston Bruins yesterday.
