The Senators struggled to get anything going on offense again tonight vs the Pittsburgh Penguins losing 2-0. Anderson, solid in net again stopped a barrage of shots, making 36 saves and keeping the Senators close but they just couldn't muster anything.

A tough game overall as the Senators lost Chris Phillips and Kyle Turris to injuries. Turris won't be out too long but will miss the battle of Ontario and will miss a few days with Groin soreness but Phillips will miss the next 4 weeks minimum, straining a hamstring in the first period. The loss of Phillips will be a tough one with Sergei Gonchar already on the sidelines with an injury himself. The Senators will call up Andre Benoit to replace Philips for the time being, seeing what he can do for the big club. Zach Smith replaced Zibanejad in the line up but was pretty ineffective. Things are getting tougher with the injuries.

Hope the guys can pull it together because we are hanging onto that final playoff spot.
