| and we have a big, fast team full of new blood in Ottawa, and on the other we have a controlled defensive machine in the New Jersey, whose formula for success has worked for the past decade. Ottawa is here on the heels of a six-game victory over the Philadelphia Flyers. The Sens, trying to become the first Canadian team in the Cup Finals since Vancouver in 1994, had their share of problems in the first four games of the set, but asserted their dominance of a worn out Flyers club in the final two tilts.

| (MySportsbook) - Maybe we've finally heard the last of the Ottawa Senators' past playoff failure. If not, something's wrong. The Sens advanced to their first-ever Eastern Conference final with a dominating 5-1 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers in Game 6 of their semifinal set on Monday. Maybe the Flyers had emptied the reserve tank in their Game 4 win and had nothing left, but Ottawa nonetheless skated circles around them all night and showed us why they won the Presidents' Trophy during the regular season. |

| Philadelphia, PA (MySportsbook) - The Ottawa Senators try to secure their first-ever trip to the Eastern Conference finals tonight when they visit the Philadelphia Flyers in Game 6 of their semifinal set at the First Union Center.

The match will be a culmination of nearly two weeks that have seen both clubs scratch and claw their way to three victories. We've seen half of the games trek to multiple overtimes before being decided, and the teams have played a total of 472 minutes -- the equivalent of |

| Philadelphia, PA (MySportsbook) - The Philadelphia Flyers will be without the services of defenseman Eric Desjardins for three-to-four weeks, putting the veteran blueliner's status for the remainder of the playoffs in jeopardy. The former team captain suffered a fracture in his right foot after blocking a shot during Philadelphia's 4-1 victory over Toronto on Saturday afternoon at the First Union Center.
