Now that Ottawa Senators fans can stop chewing their fingernails, knowing that a berth in the Stanley Cup playoffs is finally guaranteed, it’s time for a fun Friday morning exam question.
Erik Karlsson looked like he hadn’t missed any time at all in his return from Achilles tendon surgery on Thursday night.
Sergei Gonchar’s power-play goal in OT lifted the Ottawa Senators into the NHL’s postseason on Thursday night.
The day Erik Karlsson had surgery for his torn Achilles tendon on Feb. 14, he jokingly told Ottawa Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson that he would be back playing in two months.
Erik Karlsson is back.
Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson has always had a knack for sarcasm and it was in full display Wednesday, when asked about the re-shuffling of the forward lines.
“Well, just a little bit,” said Alfredsson.
Thursday could be double the pleasure night for the Ottawa Senators.
