GAME DAY REPORT
Senators vs. Panthers
Last time: The Senators lost to Florida during Hockey Fights Cancer Night on November 27th, being shutout 5-0 by the Panthers. The game was rough, in fact it set a record for the most penalty minutes in a game for the season. Their second encounter, on February 20th, proved to be a closer game with Ottawa rallying back in the game but failing in overtime 3-2.
Game Day: The Senators are down 0-2 in the series but not to fret, they get to face Florida twice before the season ends. They face them tonight and once again on April 9th, providing two chances to even up the series. The Panthers have lost two games and will be eager to claim a victory while Ottawa is coming off their first lost in 5 games.
