OTTAWA — Recreating the magic of earlier in the year isn’t just as simple as wishing for it.
The Ottawa Senators, who surged with a 23-4-4 finish to last season to get into the Eastern Conference playoffs, have found the going tougher to start 2015-16.
The Sens are a not-great-but-not-bad 6-4-1 to start the new year but have just one win in six home games (1-3-2) so far.
They meet the Winnipeg Jets (8-4-1) tonight at Canadian Tire Centre (6:30 p.m. CT, TSN3, TSN1290).
"Maybe take every game like... well, it’s not like we prepare differently on the road or at home," said Sens forward Mike Hoffman after this morning’s optional skate.
