Ottawa Senators News & Notes

Ottawa is headed on a road trip without their two goaltenders, Linus Ullmark and Anton Forsberg. The Senators have called up Mads Sogaard and Leevi Merilainen. Merilainen had two starts prior to the break, getting his first NHL win against the Edmonton Oilers. If Merilainen can work through his struggles in the trial by fire, Ottawa is charging before the Boston Bruins in the Atlantic Division standings. A lot is riding on the young goaltending tandem in Ottawa.

Winnipeg Jets News & Notes

Winnipeg is second in the entire NHL, behind the Vegas Golden Knights. While the Jets are the top offensive team in the league, ranking 1st in Goals For and Power Play %.
