Adnan
4-3 Senators
GWG: Mike Hoffman
The Senators get outplayed but Erik Karlsson and Mike Hoffman do enough to make up for the others.
Record: 29-21, 33 Points
0 Exact Scores, 4 Game Winning Goals
Ary
3-2 Penguins
GWG: Sidney Crosby
I think Ottawa comes out of the break well rested, but are met with a hungry Pittsburgh squad that seems ripe to perform well in the second half.

Callum
4-2 Penguins
GWG: Sidney Crosby
The Penguins were a disaster at the start of the season, along with the best player in the world. That’s changed now. And if the Sens couldn’t beat them then, they can’t beat them now.
Record: 26-24, 33 Points
3 Exact Scores, 4 Game Winning Goals
Ian
4-2 Senators
GWG: Erik Karlsson
The Sens return from the All-Star break with something to prove as the Sens hit the home stretch. Karlsson puts the team on his back and leads them to a big win.
Record: 26-24, 31 Points
2 Exact Scores, 3 Game Winning Goals
nkb
3-2 Senators
GWG: Mark Stone
Mark Stoke busts out with a two goal performance, including the game winner, and the Sens hold the high-powered Pens attack mostly in check
Record: 27-23, 29 Points
0 Exact Scores, 2 Game Winning Goals
Ross
4-2 Senators
GWG: Erik Karlsson
The Sens will be all fired up from the break and will make the superior Pens look like they were caught off guard.
Record: 22-28, 23 Points
0 Exact Scores, 1 Game Winning Goals
Trevor
4-3 Penguins
GWG: Evgeni Malkin
Although Pittsburgh has been underwhelming so far, Ottawa usually has troubles on the road against them. Expect Pittsburgh's PP to be the difference.
Record: 23-27, 31 Points
3 Exact Scores, 5 Game Winning Goals
