Senators Seek to Slay Devils in Prudential Center Duel

As the Ottawa Senators prepare to face off against the New Jersey Devils at the Prudential Center, fans are eager to see if their team can turn around a recent string of challenging performances. The Senators have shown resilience in their past games, but they've also faced some tough breaks.

In their last outing against the San Jose Sharks, despite a strong showing with 32 shots on goal and a powerplay conversion rate of 33 percent, they fell short by one goal. Their faceoff win percentage was impressive at 61 percent, but it wasn't enough to secure victory.

The game before that saw them take on the Los Angeles Kings in an intense battle that went into overtime. The Senators managed three goals from 31 shots and converted one out of four powerplays. However, they were edged out by just one goal again in overtime.

Looking further back at their match against the Anaheim Ducks reveals another close contest where Ottawa scored once from 30 shots. They boasted a solid shorthanded performance with no goals conceded during penalties and won 60 percent of faceoffs but ultimately lost by a single goal margin.

These statistics suggest that while Ottawa is creating opportunities and competing well in faceoffs, there's room for improvement when it comes to capitalizing on those chances and closing out games. Against New Jersey Devils' formidable lineup, converting on powerplays and maintaining defensive strength will be crucial for success.

Fans can catch this exciting matchup live on March 23rd at 7:00 PM Eastern Time (ET) at Prudential Center or tune into ESPN+ online or MSGSN TV network for broadcast coverage.
