Final
Offensively challenged Senators visit Islanders
Nov 15, 2008 - 11:31 AM Ottawa (6-8-2) at NY Islanders (5-9-2) 7:00 pm. ESTUNIONDALE, New York (Ticker) -- The Ottawa Senators aim to avoid a season-high tying fourth straight loss on Saturday in the finale of a home-and-home series with the New York Islanders, a team they have dominated over the years.
Ottawa's offense has struggled mightily, averaging 2.44 goals per game compared to last year's mark of 3.18.
The Senators have been outscored, 9-2, during the losing streak. Even a matchup with the Islanders couldn't get them out of their rut, as Ottawa lost for just the 13th time in 60 regular-season meetings with New York on Thursday.
First-round draft picks Josh Bailey and Kyle Okposo each scored power-play goals as the Islanders snapped their own three-game skid (0-2-1) with a 3-1 win.
The Islanders had been 0-10-1 in their last 11 meetings with Ottawa and are looking to snap a six-game skid (0-5-1) to the Senators here. New York will be without defenseman Thomas Pock, who was suspended for five games without pay Friday for elbowing Ottawa forward Ryan Shannon.
