Ottawa Senators(22-27-9) vs. Carolina Hurricanes (31-25-5)

Canes are coming off a nice win against the av's at home 5-2 with Cullen scoring his first hat trick. The canes have won five consectutive road games on the road and are on the verge of getting into the playoffs. With a win tonight they will be one point ahead of buffalo, and we play them next on Thursday, and with a decling Rangers just up ahead these wins are very important.

Ward will be in net for the canes.

I see a nice 4-2 win for the canes.

I just want to see what I have seen these last 3 games. Improvement and a much more confident team. Go Canes!

down 4-2 in the third/.

ward played horrible in this game. 3 goals allowed on 9 shots.

[carpanfan96]

we just can't score it seems. 40 shots on goal for us and only 2 goals. They have 21 shots on goal and 4 goals.

son of a bitch. We picked a crappy team to forget how to play defense. Well at least everytime lost as well. It was all aligned for us. We win and were tied for 6th! We got buffalo tommorow. We better fix this now... Come on Canes!

Yeah, we suck because the Senators are not a good team. We really needed those two points. We're so close, it's gonna be anybody's shot to make the playoffs still from the 5th to 8th seeds.

And such is the way of the Canes. If we want to have any shot of making the playoffs we've got to:

A) Beat Buffalo tonight for sure.

Find a way to put the puck in the net.

Whitney's line has played well, but we've got to get production from our other lines too. What we really need is for someone on the 1st line to get hot.
