Ottawa Senators News & Notes

The Senators weathered the storm after losing Linus Ullmark and Anton Forsberg to injury and the ensuing scare. With Forsberg back in the lineup, the Senators are looking up in the standings at a floundering Boston Bruins team. With plenty of games in hand, Ottawa can capitalize.

St. Louis Blues News & Notes

The Blues are 3-2 in their last five games and victorious in a 6-2 thumping of the Blackhawks at the Winter Classic. St. Louis is 6th in the Central Division, tied with the Utah Hockey Club.
