Lynx Lead Lightens

[flyersfan345 38]

The Ottawa Lynx recently ended an eight game win streak after dominating the VHLM through the first 26 games of the season. The eight game win streak ended with a 1-0 loss to their Eastern Conference rival Philadelphia Reapers to begin a four game losing streak. During this stretch, Ottawa has scored only 3 goals, being shut out twice, but were able to pick up a point in a shootout loss to Miami.

 

Ottawa leads the VHLM this season with a five point lead over Philadelphia, who have won their last five games after their 2-1 loss to Ottawa in game 123. Philadelphia has outscored their opponents 17-3 in their five game stretch, displaying total domination in that stretch. While Ottawa still has firm control over the Eastern Conference right now, the race looks far more interesting than it did just two days ago with 42 games left to play.

 

The 22-6-2 Lynx hope to snap their streak when they play Saskatoon in their next matchup. Ottawa enters this matchup with a 5-0-1 record so far against Saskatoon, outscoring them 21-5 in their matchups so far this season, with their sole loss coming via shootout in a defensive game where both teams were held scoreless.
