The Senators will hit the quarter-mark of the season Saturday night at the Canadian Tire Centre.
And, there's still plenty of racetrack left before the playoffs begin in April.
No, the first 19 games haven't been perfect by any stretch, but coach Dave Cameron is trying to keep everything in perspective so generally speaking he's pleased with where the Senators are sitting as they prepare to face the Philadelphia Flyers to close out this five-game homestand.
Coming off a 3-0 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets Thursday night at home, Cameron dispensed with the formalities and held an optional skate.
