OTTAWA — At this point Youth Kansas City Chiefs Hats , the Ottawa Senators figured Curtis Lazar would be one of their top young forwards, providing the same grit and character he did as captain of Team Canada’s gold medal-winning entry in the 2015 world junior championships.

If they want to cheer, they can cheer. I mean, nothing changes for me.
“I’ve played so many games there that maybe it’s going to be weird. I guess I’m the bad guy now, but I’m happy with the way I carried myself during my time in Ottawa.

“It’s business as usual here,” said Duchene about the team’s approach through the final four weeks of the season. “We come to the rink every day and prepare the same way as if we’re in first place in our division. We’re doing that for the future. We know that this is not a team that should be where we’re at. This is a playoff team, as it is right now.
“It’s one of those seasons that didn’t go our way. We’re trying to get better and get ready for next season.”
The Flames are expected to start goaltender Dave Rittich, who made 25 saves during the slump busting win in Buffalo before losing his shutout bid with 17.2 seconds left on the clock.
