Thanks for nothing, Senators

March 29, 2008 - 3:38 PM

There was no help coming today in Boston as the Ottawa Senators laid an egg and were blanked by the Bruins, 4-0.

So Boston temporarily moves into seventh in the East with 90 points. Philly is eighth at 89 pending tonight's game on Long Island. Washington, which plays tonight at Florida, is ninth at 86 and the Sabres have 84.

The Sabres' last chance of catching Boston is a win Sunday. And if Philly wins tonight and the Sabres don't win tomorrow in regulation, the misery will be over and the Sabres will officially be done.
