from Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun,
The Senators will wake up Tuesday morning where they wanted to be.
And, where so many never believed they would be.
There may not be any stopping Andrew “The Hamburglar” Hammond and the Senators now as they bit back at the San Jose Sharks by scoring four unanswered goals in a third period comeback to move ahead of the Boston Bruins for the final wildcard playoff spot at No. 8 in the East with a 5-2 win.
The Hamburglar made 29 stops and is an incredible 14-0-1 as the Senators extended their streak to seven straight wins to move one point ahead of Boston as Mika Zibanejad scored twice while Mike Hoffman, Alex Chiasson and Jean-Gabriel Pageau also chipped in front of 18,193 at Canadian Tire Centre.
Yup, the burgers were flying with Ottawa 15-1-1 in its last 16.
Fourteen points out of a playoff spot on Feb. 8, the Senators have done the unthinkable in this remarkable run.
