The Ottawa Senators are having a respectable season. 

As it stands, they are sitting in second place in the Atlantic division with a 32-21-6 record. Their future, however, is looking somewhat murky due to a compilation of unfortunate injuries.

Top-six forwards Mark Stone (neck), Mike Hoffman (lower-body) and Bobby Ryan are all currently sidelined, and the Sens are consequently in dire need of scoring. Our BarDown cartoonist, Pengellyink, perfectly summed up the team’s situation with his latest piece.

 

With the Toronto Maple Leafs only two points behind them, will the Senators call for extra help?

At this point, it’s looking like they may not have a choice.
