IN A NUTSHELL
The Senators couldn’t overcome a series of injuries to key offensive players and were shut out for the third time this season by an opposing team’s backup goaltender.
MACLEAN SPEAKS
Paul MacLean answered questions about the game, but just stared when asked about Erik Karlsson.

BY THE NUMBERS

1-3-1: Ottawa’s record over the last five games
if you want to win: (until Michalek, Latendresse and Regin comes back)
1st line: Turris, Alfredsson, Silfverberg
2nd line: Greening, Condra, Da Costa
3rd line: Jim O’Brien, Neil, Smith
4th line: Grant, Daugavins (or Dziurzynski), Zibanejad
Gonchar, Methot
Phillips, Gryba
Lundin, Borowiecki
and eventually trow in if they are healthy: Mark Stone, Cody Ceci, and Jean-Gabriel Pageau
its about good strategy on how to make it work, a coach could do line change from 1 period to the next until it clicks.
Zibanejad needs to not be afraid and hit more, sometimes he lays a soft body on a person and looses the puck right away, if you battle hard like a guy like Alfredsson, Fisher along the boards, you will have pocession of the puck alot more. When oppotunities comes, please dont miss the net, wait for the goalie first move and put it in the net.
