The Senators, Canadiens, Sabres, and Red Wings are all hoping to exit their rebuilds, but which team is in the best position to do so?

Before scoring in Sunday’s 3-1 win over Utah, Tkachuk had gone 10 games without a goal or an assist. Giroux’ goal Sunday was his first since Dec. 19. Batherson has one goal (Jan. 11) since Dec. 17. Stutzle had just six goals since the beginning of December (27 games). Tough to figure, right?

To sell or not to sell? That is the question facing the Canadiens, Red Wings, Bruins, Canucks and six other squads as NHL trade deadline season kicks into gear.

The Ottawa Senators won the second clash with the Toronto Maple Leafs this season led by goals from Tim Stützle and Shane Pinto with Anton Forsberg standing tall in the Senators net. Jackson Starr recaps the Battle of Ontario game in the latest Sens Rewind.

The Ottawa Senators are hosting the “battle of Ontario” for the only team of the season as the Toronto Maple Leafs’ fans travel to the nation’s capitol to see the second meeting of the Ontario teams this season.

The Leafs last game was at home on January 22 against the Columbus Blue Jackets, which Toronto lost by a score of 5-1 in regulation. The Leafs have a record of 30-17-2 for a 0.633 Points %.

Forward Adam Lowry is week-to-week with an upper-body injury, head coach Scott Arneil told reporters Wednesday. Lowry left Monday's loss to the Utah Hockey Club. He only played 5:18 before departing. The 31-year-old has 11 goals and 26 points in 48 games so far this season.

The Ottawa Senators are victors of back to back matchups over the weekend with travel. With those points earned, the Senators have climbed to first in the wild card playoff race and have bumped Boston out.

Tim Stützle scored the lone goal in the shootout Saturday to give Ottawa a 6-5 win over the Bruins in a matinee that had the feel, intensity, and nastiness of a playoff game. Stützle’s backbreaker capped a furious comeback by the Senators, who trailed, 5-3, with less than four minutes remaining.

Down 5-3 to the rival Boston Bruins with the goalie pulled, the Senators scored twice in the final four minutes to tie the game, then won it 6-5 in the shootout. The victory, for the time being, moves Ottawa into the first Wild Card position (WC1) in the Eastern Conference, now tied in points with Columbus and Boston.

It was an electric game with intensity that matched the atmosphere at Canadian Tire Centre as the Ottawa Senators defeated the Boston Bruins 6-5 in the shootout.

In a wildly entertaining and raucous game, the Bruins had their most emotional win of the season in their grasp only to cough up a two-goal lead late in the final 3:13 of regulation with the goalie pulled and lose in a shootoout, 6-5.
