Tampa Bay Lightning vs Ottawa Senators
7:00 PM ET, March 19, 2011
Scotiabank Place, Ottawa, Ontario
With their playoff hopes long gone, the Ottawa Senators have been relegated to playing spoiler. They've already dealt the Tampa Bay Lightning a disheartening defeat in the last week.
The Lightning look to exact some revenge and avoid losing for the eighth time in 10 games Saturday night when they visit the Senators, who are seeking their fifth win in seven contests.
Tampa Bay (39-22-10) is in fifth place in the Eastern Conference and seems to be in good shape to earn its first playoff berth since 2007, with a comfortable lead over the teams just outside the top eight.
The Lightning are scuffling, however, going 2-4-3 this month. They squandered a chance to increase their lead over sixth-place Montreal on Thursday, falling to the Canadiens 3-2 in a shootout.
"We're still fighting," coach Guy Boucher said. "If you would have told us (last) summer that we would be fighting with teams like Washington, Boston and Philadelphia at this time of the year, I don't think anybody would have believed us."
