The Sens rolled into Raleigh, North Carolina tonight on something of a hot streak, at least by their standards. Having just recently moved from last in the NHL all the way up to tied for last in the NHL, they were basically unbeatable.
Carolina, of course, has never been a easy opponent. For some reason, the Sens have always struggled in Raleigh, and it didn’t help that their opponent tonight was noted Sens killer and former Ottawa 67 Petr Mrazek, or that the Hurricanes were vying for a shot at the playoffs while the Senators were.
