Silver Nuggets: Elliott goes for thirteen in a row; Alfredsson's future
The Ottawa Senators turn to Brian Elliott as they try to snap a laundry list of streaks. They Senators have lost eight in a row, fourteen out of fifteen while Elliott has lost twelve in a row. On the other hand, Elliott has won two in a row with Jason Spezza playing.
Before I give today's links, a prayer for the Senators. Lords of Kobol, I pray to you, please give these Ottawa Senators a win. SO SAY WE ALL!
With that, here are today's links:
