Good Friday will be followed by Good-Luck-Because-You’ll-Need-Lots-Of-It-Saturday for the Senators this spring if they fail to win Game 2 of their playoff series with the Bruins.
Falling behind 2-0 in the best-of-seven would leave them with only a slim chance of advancement to Round 2, according to HockeyReference.com.
Of the 291 teams that have dropped the first two games, only 37 (12.7%) have rebounded to win the series. It hasn’t been done since 2010, when the Flyers rallied from behind to eliminate the Bruins in a conference semifinal that went the distance.
To win on Saturday, the Senators need to start scoring.
