The Senators don't have much to play for. The Wild have everything to play for. The Wild are a better team. This would sting for Minnesota fans if they don't win.

I think the Sens will play the Wild pretty even, but that the depth of the Minnesota team will shine through. They’ve had a pretty disappointing year.

With all practical chance to make it to the playoffs gone, the Sens grip their sticks a little lighter and play the role of spoiler with Minnesota.

Remember when Clarke MacArthur made that ridiculous pass between his legs to Turris against the Wild two years ago? No? Ok, well, remember Clarke MacArthur? No? Hmm.

To make up ground, I've got to start betting against the grain. Thankfully, we're nearly completely split on this game, so there's no high-risk way to bet.

Minnesota has strangely not been playing up to their potential and are in a dog fight for the final wildcard spot. They need this win much more than Ottawa, and it will show.
