Marc DesRosiers-Imagn Images Make it three in a row for the Ottawa Senators! They took advantage of an injury depleted Florida Panthers team, controlling the play for much of the game on their way to a convincing 5-1 win. This wraps up five straight games at home, where the Senators went an impressive 4-1.

It was on March 23rd that Chabot left the game against the New York Rangers with a broken arm .

Linus Ullmark’s Strong Stretch When Ullmark did not play against the Lightning on March 28th, it was fair to worry about his ability to take on a heavy workload. Afterall, he’s never started 50 games in a season. He then followed that up with a dud performance against the Panthers where he was pulled after giving up five first period goals.
