OTTAWA — On a conference call Friday
Harold Landry Jersey Elite , Ottawa Senators general manager Pierre Dorion told season ticket-holders that he will try to re-sign captain Erik Karlsson
when he’s permitted to offer him a new contract on July 1.
Dorian also said every aspect of the organization will be re-evaluated during the summer, including coach Guy Boucher’s job.
“We’ve seen how teams can change quickly,” Dorion said. “That is definitely our goal, to be in the playoffs next year

“We need to be more consistent as a group, and if we can do that and have a good game plan, I think we can be a pretty competitive team next year.”
With nine games remaining, the Senators (26-36-11) will try to make up for the embarrassment of a 6-2 home loss to the Edmonton Oilers when they face the
Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday night at Canadian Tire Centre.
Boucher was particularly unimpressed with a third period that saw his team surrender four goals and lack “net presence” around the Edmonton net.
Watching Connor McDavid blow by winger Mike Hoffman for a third-period goal was especially irksome to the coach.
“That wasn’t a good at all

that’s why they didn’t play the rest of the game after that.
“Attitude

are up and down with these things. You’ve got guys that are on par and some that
aren’t.”
The Hurricanes (32-31-11) are coming off a 6-5 victory over the Arizona Coyotes that was just their second win in the last six games. The dry spell has
virtually assured they’ll miss the playoffs for the ninth consecutive
season.
Terrible tragedy has struck both the Senators and the Hurricanes this season. Karlsson and wife Melinda lost their first child a month before he was to be
born last week, and the infant daughter of Carolina center Jordan Staal and his
wife Hannah died of a terminal birth defect in February.
“It has been a hard year on and off the ice, just life in general

has been challenged. We’ve learned a lot, we’ve grown a lot.”

Hurricanes third-liners Sebastian Aho and Teuvo Teravainen are both riding career-high seven-game point scoring streaks.
This will be the second meeting of the teams this season. The Hurricanes defeated the Senators 2-1 on Jan. 30 at Carolina.
The teams will face each other a third time Sunday at PNC Arena in Raleigh.
