OTTAWA — A “two-peat?"

The Senators haven’t given up hope of making the playoffs, but to do it again they’ll have to repeat their magic of a year ago.

While sportsclubstats.com gives the Senators, who extended their winning streak to three straight Saturday night, a slim 4.9%% chance of making the post-season with 22 games to go, that’s a little better than the 1.8% the club had a week ago in the midst of a three-game losing skid.

No, the Senators haven’t been perfect as they pack their bags for a pivotal three-game road trip through Western Canada, but as the old saying goes they’re finding ways to win and they’ll try to extend their winning streak to a season-high four games Tuesday night against the Edmonton Oilers.
