League: NHL – United States of America

Last 10 matches: Florida 5-4-1; Ottawa 4-5-1
Vokoun is second in the League in three categories that make the Panthers smile: shutouts (seven), saves (1,884) and save percentage (.928). However, the fact he’s also second in the category of shots against (1,987) suggests unflattering things about the defense playing in front of him this season. Third of four meetings this season. Each team has won in its opponent’s building. Daniel Alfredsson had a goal and an assist as the Senators claimed a 4-3 victory in Florida on Oct. 28. Rostislav Olesz scored twice and Tomas Vokoun stopped all 24 shots he faced as the Panthers prevailed 3-0 in Ottawa on Jan. 9.
Radek Dvorak has two goals and an assist during a three-game points streak for the Panthers. Backup goalie Scott Clemmensen won consecutive starts, stopping 61 of 64 shots (.953 save percentage) before coach Peter DeBoer went back to Vokoun against the Canadiens.

Elliott was coming off back-to-back shutouts of the Canadiens and Flyers before turning in another top-notch effort against the Sabres on Friday. Alfredsson has two goals and seven assists during a six-game points streak for the Senators. Spezza has four goals in as many games. Regin has two goals and an assist during a three-game points streak. Kelly has goals in consecutive games.
The Senators have been a streaky team this season. They lost five straight in January before putting together a team-record 11-game winning streak. They lost another five in a row earlier this month, but ride a three-game winning streak into Saturday’s action. Ottawa trails Buffalo by five points in the Northeast Division and the teams still have one meeting left. We will post results of this match, as soon as posible.
