Silver Nuggets: Lehner versus AHL fans

The Ottawa Senators have not lost a game since Wednesday! They take on the New York Islanders tomorrow night attempting to end an eight game home losing streak. That is three shy of the club record of eleven straight home losses. Having ended one streak on Saturday afternoon, here is hoping they can end this and win consecutive games for the first time since December 23 and December 26.

One fan with a megaphone caused King Lehner to say this: "It was nice (to win) because the fans here are really dumb." I love this kid! (pressconnects.com)
