Silver Nuggets: Another loss...
The Ottawa Senators lost once again, for the third time in succession and the ninth time in ten games. It was also the fifth straight loss at home for the Senators. The Senators were not a great team with Jason Spezza, but they were starting to turn things around with a 4-1-2 run before Spezza got injured. Since then the Senators are 1-6-3 and out of the playoffs race. With that said, here are some Senators news for your reading pleasure:
