Just Another Game

Despite the celebration and festivities that come with an outdoor game, the Ottawa Senators must remain focused on the task at hand. They need to treat this like any other game and with the same mindset. A win against the Rangers is great news for the team, but it doesn’t matter if they can’t string wins together. With the terrible month that they’ve had the Sens have dug themselves into a hole in the standings. In order to get out they will need to go on a winning streak.
