PODCAST: CFRA's Open House for Sat. April 11th, 2026

With a win this weekend, and a little bit of help, the Ottawa Senators will be able to punch their playoff ticket ahead of Game 82. Should they stumble, the boys will need a big result in Wednesday's regular season finale vs. Toronto to extend their campaign. But amid all the trials and tribulations they have endured, the Sens somehow control their own destiny as the final weekend approaches, with banged-up bodies slowly returning to the everyday lineup. Technical producer Stephen Ellsworth analyzes the NHL's playoff picture on CFRA Weekends.
