Jimmy Stu forever.
The Final:
Senators 4, Jets 2
How It Happened:
Tim Stützle with the hat trick, another nice night from Filip Gustavsson, another Sens win.
Any Fights?
Nope.
Standings:
Vancouver lost again, Calgary was off in anticipation of tonight as the NHL schedulers tried desperately to stop the rising force from the Canadian capital.
Toronto: 76 points, 54 games played
Edmonton: 68 points, 53 games played
Winnipeg: 59 points, 53 games played
Montreal: 57 points, 54 games played
YOUR BELOVED OTTAWA SENATORS: 49 points, 54 games played

Montreal still has yet to clinch, but the Senators could help them along and help themselves stake a stronger claim to fifth with a surprise tonight.
Senators News:
Nothing too big.
Senators Thoughts:
The guys are just rolling right now. To the degree that you believe they have a chance even on the second half of a back-to-back.
