The post Senators vs Kings: Can the Sens Make It Three Wins in a Row? appeared first on NHL Trade Talk.
The Ottawa Senators are finally putting together a winning steak. Tonight, they play the Los Angeles Kings, seeking to collect their first three-game winning streak of the season. After back-to-back wins, including a gritty 4-3 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Wednesday, Ottawa hopes to build momentum and even their season record at 11-11-1.
The Senators have had the luxury of rest and practice while in California. Thursday served as a recovery day, followed by a spirited Friday practice that energized players. “Days off are so big with the amount of games we play in such a short period,” defenseman Thomas Chabot noted. “Everybody’s in a good mood coming back.”
This freshness could play a crucial role as they face a Kings team coming off a game on Friday night, potentially giving the Senators a slight edge in stamina. The Kings are a solid team with a winning record. But, can the Senators find more success on the road?
Adam Gaudette has emerged as a surprising catalyst for Ottawa. He scored two goals in their win over San Jose. With 11 goals in 21 games, Gaudette is exceeding expectations and thriving alongside Brady Tkachuk and Tim Stutzle on the top line. Can the well-traveled veteran continue his hot streak?
Adam Gaudette is now with the Senators.
Stutzle’s playmaking has been pivotal. He extended his point streak to five games (two goals, five assists), while Tkachuk has chipped in five points (two goals, three assists) over the past three contests. Their chemistry will be vital if Ottawa wants to overcome Los Angeles and keep their streak alive. The team is starting to feel good about itself after several frustrating games.
The Kings are coming off a 2-1 win against Anaheim, with rookie goalie Erik Portillo shining in his NHL debut. While the Kings are finding some consistency, the Ottawa Senators’ depth and balanced scoring allow them to capitalize on any signs of fatigue from Los Angeles.
If the Senators can sustain their recent offensive surge and maintain discipline on defense, they could make a strong case for a third straight win. With key players clicking and the team rested, the Senators are poised to make a statement in the Pacific Division. Can goalie Linus Ullmark put up a solid performance in the crease? He could be a key to the team’s success.
Will Ottawa seize the moment and build on this momentum, or will the Kings’ home ice prove too challenging? The stage is set for an exciting clash in Los Angeles.
