The Senators are coming into this game as a slight underdog with the current betting odds. They have been playing very well in their recent games. They are coming into this game on a 4 game winning streak and have been beating up on some of the bottom teams in the NHL. They are going up against a Flyers team that has been awful all season and they have been playing just as bad in their recent games. The Flyers have lost 2 straight games and unlike the Senators, they have been losing their games against the bottom teams in the NHL. Neither team has anything to play for here and this game means nothing but the Senators have been heating up near the end of their season here and the best bet here is on them to stay hot in this game and win it.

“It’s definitely amazing, and I think we’ve worked all year for this. I think we are where we want to be — win and you get in. You don’t want to leave it up to anyone else, so it’s a great feeling right now. A lot of guys haven’t been there, and I think it’s going to be a great experience. We have a lot of veterans as well who’ve been there, and they’re going to show us the way.” - Quinton Byfield on their win against the Ducks on Saturday night.

 

 

“I think that he’s a battler. Tonight, the first goal maybe he’d like to have back, but he continued to battle right through the rest of the way, so just like any young player it’s learning, making sure you’re ready right from the start of the game.” - Mike Yeo on his team’s loss against the Jets on Wednesday night.
