I do think that some times teams like the Senators can be tough outs down the stretch.
Veteran teams that are out of the playoffs tend to be easier outs since they aren't skilled or working hard, but it's tough to out work a team filled of AHL call ups that are just trying to get a foot in the door for a spot next season.
Actually probably why the Senators looked much worse last night after they re-introduced Duclair, Boedker, Ceci, etc back into the lineup. Those guys have nothing to play for, compared to guys like Batherson, Brown, Chalpik, etc who want to prove they are NHLers.
Similar to that 13/14 Flames team that went 13-9-0 down the stretch after the trade deadline even though they were 22-30-7 up to that point of the season prior to that.
