Final
Senators trying to gain ground in East
Mar 20, 2008 - 1:56 PM St Louis (30-32-11) at Ottawa (40-26-7) 7:30 pm EDTOTTAWA (Ticker) - The Ottawa Senators are looking to bounce back from a dismal loss and continue their pursuit of the top spot in the Eastern Conference.
The Senators go for their fourth win in five games on Thursday when they host the St. Louis Blues.
Ottawa had won its previous three games in regulation before suffering a 5-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday. Dany Heatley took advantage of a 5-on-3 powerplay in the first period before the Hurricanes responded with five unanswered goals.
Heatley has helped the Senators stay in the mix for first place in the Eastern Conference by scoring four goals and logging six points in his last four games.
Ottawa is just three points behind the Northeast Division-leading Montreal Canadiens (40-24-10) and four points back of New Jersey (42-24-7), which is is atop the conference.
The Blues helped the Senators playoff standing on Tuesday, ending an 0-5-1 stretch with a 4-3 shootout victory over the Canadiens.
Brad Boyes scored his 38th goal during regulation before notching the only goal in the shootout as St. Louis snapped a 10-game road losing streak.
