Senators Look to Extend Win Streak Against Struggling Flyers
Alright, hockey fans, buckle up! The Ottawa Senators are hitting the road to take on the Philadelphia Flyers in what promises to be another exciting showdown. The Sens are riding a three-game win streak and looking to keep the momentum going as they face a Flyers team that has struggled to find consistency this season.
Ottawa is coming off a thrilling 2-1 victory against the Detroit Red Wings, where Linus Ullmark put on a show with a staggering 48-save performance. However, with back-to-back games, it's expected that Anton Forsberg will step in between the pipes tonight. Forsberg has something to prove, and with his contract on the line, you can bet he'll be locked in.

On the offensive side, the Sens have been getting key contributions from new acquisitions Dylan Cozens and Fabian Zetterlund, both of whom looked sharp in their last outing. The first line of Brady Tkachuk, Tim Stutzle, and Claude Giroux continues to be a major force, while Ottawa’s depth lines have also stepped up in crucial moments.
The Flyers, meanwhile, are looking to rebound from a 3-1 loss to the New Jersey Devils. Their season has been defined by inconsistent goaltending, and while they have some offensive firepower, it hasn't been enough to keep them in serious playoff contention. Ivan Fedotov is expected to start in goal for Philadelphia, making consecutive starts for the first time since early January.
This will be the second meeting between these teams this season, with the Flyers having edged out a 5-4 overtime win in their first clash back in November. With home-ice advantage tonight, Philly will be hoping to even out their recent struggles. However, their lackluster power play and shaky penalty kill could give the Sens an edge, especially if Ottawa capitalizes on special teams opportunities.
Both teams have similar recent records, going 4-5-1 in their last 10 games, but the Senators seem to be trending in the right direction. If their defense holds strong and Forsberg delivers a solid performance in net, Ottawa has a great chance to keep their win streak alive.
So, Sens fans, get ready for another big one! The puck drops at 7 PM ET, and you can catch all the action on NBCSP, TSN5, and RDS. Let’s see if Ottawa can keep rolling and strengthen their playoff push!
