Tommy Wingels is on the verge of advancing to a Conference finals series for the second time in as many seasons. He’s wearing red instead of teal, of course, as Wingels was traded to the Ottawa Senators on January 24th.
Wingels’ Senators find themselves up 3-2 in their second round series against the New York Rangers, but have played without Wingels for each of the last three games. A year after playing in all but two postseason games for San Jose, Wingels has been scratched for six of Ottawa’s 11 postseason games.
Since arriving in Canada’s capital, Wingels has struggled.
