The Sens just kept it coming with another big win over a team that really could have used it. Anyone in Ontario knows that this game was unique from any other this season. For the first time in ages, Leafs fans were cheering for the Sens, and believe me, they did them a solid. By defeating the Caps, the Sens kept the Leafs in that eighth spot another day.
What about those Washington Capitals? Sure, they did without Alexander Ovechkin, but has he really been much of an asset anyhow? A team that is supposed to be hungry for points right now is falling well behind, getting blanked by the Canes before getting dismantled by the Sens. It took them over 130 minutes of game play to finally score a goal. They sit two points behind both eighth place and third, although hitting that 65 point mark would have put them at ninth.
On the flip side of the coin, the Sens are regaining themselves after a woeful losing streak to proceed the All Star break. They have now won 4 straight and have points in the last 6 games (5-0-1). Karlsson and Michalek got it done this time, both posting 3 points in the win. With 2 assists for Karlsson, he becomes the number one defender in franchise history for most assists by a defender in a season.
The Washington Capitals can bounce back in their game on Friday against the Montreal Canadians. The Ottawa Senators can even up with the Bruins with a win against them this Saturday.
