TEMPE, Ariz. _ The Ottawa Senators hit the mid\u002Dpoint of the schedule Thursday night.
That means if the Senators want to play meaningful games in March then they’ll need a strong push in the second half to get themselves back in the conversation. They’ll also have to climb by some teams to make a playoff push a reality.
“Let’s put it this way, it was okay first half, but I expect a really good second half after . We’ve got 41 games to go and what I want to see is this team really pushing. We finished with 73 points a year ago? Where can we finish this year?Article content After back-to-back losses to the Seattle Kraken Saturday and Nashville Predators Monday, the Senators are hoping to get back to the kind of hockey that made them successful for a large part of December and the first two games this month.Article content
Defencemen Thomas Chabot and Artem Zub both missed games with ailments while goaltender Cam Talbot started the year on injured-reserve. Dorion noted in November he’d like to see the club play 25 to 30 games with its full lineup.Article content “Ultimately, it’s his decision. He decided not to have surgery and to try to rehab this into place. So we’re going to leave this in his hands and the doctors’ hands. When they tell me he’s able to play, then he’ll be out there.”The 20-year-old No. 3 overall pick in the NHL draft has improved his game at both ends of the ice. He went into the game against the Coyotes with 18 goals and 39 points in 36 games this season.
“He’s five years younger than Matthews and some of these guys like Bergeron are going to be out of the league. He’s going to be one of the elites.”
