The NHL team is entering a key stretch of the season still hoping to rally for a playoff wildcard spot.
“When you know what’s going on , the team plays with a little bit of fear,” TSN colour analysta former NHL goalie, said Thursday from Seattle. “They know they can’t be loose. Tampa plays loose because they’ve got a rock star like“Right now, the team has two goalies with nine collective starts between two goalies and they’re trying to make the playoffs. Is your team going to play with a lot of structure? Are they going to try to win 1-0? To me, that’s the type of mindset that they’ve got to have.
“It’s different on the road,” Smith told reporters in Seattle before the game. “This team is four lines deep, and they check. We have to have that mentality. If we check them, we’re going to get more opportunities. We can’t just go in thinking of ways to score.” McLennan was a backup throughout most of his NHL career, so he knows how difficult this test is for the Senators. They went into Thursday night’s action trailing the Pittsburgh Penguins by five points for the final wildcard spot in the NHL’s Eastern Conference.
Ottawa has gone from Talbot and Forsberg, who both have plenty of experience, to two untested rookies and that’s not easy on the mindset.
