\u0022With just six wins in 18 games to start the season, the Senators need to take a step back to try to dig themselves out of this hole slowly.\u0022

“Right in front of you is the shift in front of you. It’s the first six minutes of the game until the first TV timeout, it’s the penalty kill and it’s the little things in front of you. It’s amazing, when you’re not doing them it feels like it’s not going good for you. Things can turn quickly in this league and when things start going good, they can go really quick.”

We’ve got to go out there and actually do it,” Giroux said. “You’ve got to go baby steps. You have to take it one game at a time. You can’t look at the big picture, you look at the record and you see it’s going to be a challenge to get back into the playoff spot.
