Senators down capitals
Posted on March 30, 2010
The Washington Capitals have talked a lot over the last few days about finishing the regular season strong, and they've managed to lose three straight games.
Maybe they should take a lesson or two from the Ottawa Senators.
The Senators, also looking to be in top form for the post-season, won their fifth in a row Tuesday night, blowing an early lead before rallying to beat the Capitals 5-4 in overtime.
"At this time of year, not only do you want to win games, but you want to feel good about how you're playing, too," said Jason Spezza, who had two goals and two assists. "Confidence is huge this time of year, and there's a big difference between the win and the loss and how the mood is in the room the next day."
