The Sens don’t really impress in any particular area, and they continue to occupy a playoff spot in spite of a negative goal differential.
The team boasts a few top forwards in Mark Stone and Mike Hoffman, and Erik Karlsson logs major minutes, but the Sens are often exploited while these players are not on the ice.
Ottawa is still sitting towards the bottom of the league in terms of corsi, and they tend to spend too much time in their own end.
Without a major trade deadline acquisition, or a hot goalie, the Sens playoff position could be in danger down the stretch. There’s enough talent there to potentially squeak in, but it will not be easy.
