Senators Set to Battle Predators at Bridgestone: A Clash of Strategy and Skill

As the Ottawa Senators prepare to face off against the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena, fans are eager to see how their team will perform in this upcoming challenge. The Senators have had a mixed bag of results in their recent outings, showing both resilience and areas for improvement.

In their last game against the Chicago Blackhawks, the Senators managed a close contest but ultimately fell short with a final score of 2-3. Despite outshooting the Blackhawks with 42 attempts on goal, they struggled to convert these opportunities into points, with a shooting percentage of just five percent. Their powerplay unit managed one goal from two opportunities, indicating some efficiency but also room for growth.

The previous matchup saw them on home ice against the Anaheim Ducks where they were outscored significantly, ending with only one point to Anaheim's five. The Senators' powerplay failed to capitalize on any of their four chances that night. However, it wasn't all negative; despite losing, they did manage 34 shots on goal which suggests an offensive persistence that could be harnessed more effectively.

Looking back further at another home game versus Columbus Blue Jackets provides a glimmer of hope as Ottawa emerged victorious with an impressive six points over Columbus' three. That night showcased what the Senators are capable of when things click into place – particularly on special teams where they scored two goals during powerplays and added another while shorthanded.

As we approach this next game in Nashville, it's clear that if Ottawa can tighten up defensively while maintaining their aggressive shot volume and improving conversion rates especially in powerplay situations – there is potential for success.
