Magic Numbers for Monday

The weekend change was mostly not in our favour

The one point against Montreal has dropped the number across the board, but it's going to take more than that for the Sens to catch the teams ahead of them.

Most teams ahead of the Senators have seen their odds of staying that way go up. The only exception is New Jersey, who failed to pick up a point over the weekend.

The Rangers now hold the last playoff spot, and catching them would require 59% of the remaining games for them and the Senators to go our way. A win against them tomorrow night will bring that down by 3%.
