This late in the season, it can be difficult to find reasons to get invested in games. The standings are pretty much set, so it’s hard to care that much about wins or losses. Instead, we’re just looking for entertaining games, and good individual performances.
In a way, tonight’s loss to the Winnipeg Jets was exactly the type of game we want to see from this Ottawa Senators team late in the season. They played well for most of it, a few players added to impressive statlines, and the game was interesting from start to finish.
