Sens played the right way on Saturday. If they can do it again, this should be a win.

4-2 Red Wings
GWG: Justin Abdelkader
Well, we made fun of him for the past week, and now in true Hockey God fashion, it’s going to come back and haunt us. Good job, Sens Twitter. Great effort.

3-2 Senators
GWG: Kyle Turris
The Sens take it to the Wings, giving up a pair of third period goals to make it a close game, but the Sens hold on for the W.

4-1 Senators
GWG: Patrick Wiercioch
Ottawa is better start to finish, Wiercioch blasts one home midway through the second and the Sens cruise.

4-0 Red Wings
GWG: Justin Abdelkader
This game will look horrendous for Ottawa from start to two-minutes-from-the-end, when they take a bunch of shots but can't even score a moral victory.

Trevor
4-1 Red Wings
GWG: Pavel Datsyuk
In his 3rd game back, the magic man Datsyuk proves to be too much for Ottawa. The Senators were terrible last time at home against Detroit, and I'm expecting there to be lots of action in Ottawa's zone.
