We discuss Brady Tkachuk's huge spike in intensity on Thursday against the Islanders with an opening faceoff fight and a game-winning goal in the final seconds. Did he hear some of the recent criticism from fans and media? Could it be a turning point? We talk about the standings and playoff chase. We discuss Islanders forward JG Pageau and what the Sens got for him six years ago. And we look at the upcoming game vs the free-falling Leafs.

We discuss the Senators' crucial weekend home victories over Anaheim and San Jose, two wins that couldn't have been more different. Linus Ullmark posted back-to-back wins. We discuss how things look on the blue line with Jake Sanderson and Nick Jensen, now both out. Drake Batherson has had some good fortune around the net in the past few games; his last 4 goals were almost unintentional. With the Sharks in town, we revisit the Fabian Zetterlund deal one year later. And Radko Gudas didn't play against the Sens on Saturday. We talk about his suspension and the Leafs' lack of response after he took down Auston Matthews. And the obligatory "much more."

The Senators tweaked their roster at the trade deadline, acquiring defensive forward Warren Foegele from LA and hoping he can get back to his 24-goal form from last season. Meanwhile, the Sens said goodbye to David Perron. Stephen Halliday wasn't traded, but now the Senators have too many forwards, so is he the odd man out or will it be someone else? We also look at Tim Stutzle's recent performance,s the win in Calgary and the important schedule ahead. The roster is set! They're playing well, but do they have enough race track remaining?

After two periods, the Senators seemed to have a W wrapped up in Edmonton, but squandered a crucial point, giving up three straight goals. We get into what went wrong and what they might do, if anything, before Friday's trade deadline.

The Ottawa Senators got back on the winning track in Toronto on Saturday night, crushing the Maple Leafs 5–2 in a game that was not as close as the score would appear. Drake Batherson and Dylan Cozens each scored twice for the Senators, who moved to within five points of the Boston Bruins for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. We discuss the sheer dominaton of the game, the mini line brawl, the weird offside challenge and more.
