Episode Notes

The Senators’ goaltending has struggled all season, but James Reimer has already brought a little calm to the storm.

Reimer stepped up and helped deliver three of a possible four points, including a rock-solid performance in Columbus. It’s still early, but for the first time all season, there’s a (knock on wood) sense of comfort in the crease.

We also dive into Jake Sanderson’s candid comments about Leevi Merilainen, touching on whether it's a problem or not.

Where Merilainen is mentally as he continues to learn, and what his long-term future with the Senators could look like.

Plus, Ridly Greig is quietly becoming impossible to ignore. With 6 points in his last 4 games, Greig is bringing: Snarl and edge, Legit skill and vision, and a team-first mentality that teammates love. Let’s break it all down.
