After the Ottawa Senators stole Game 1 with a 2-1 overtime victory, Clarke MacArthur wasn't overly surprised that his club dropped Game 2 against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday night.

Following the 1-0 defeat, MacArthur admitted the Senators knew they weren't going to sweep the defending Stanley Cup champs.

"We’re hockey players but we’re not that dumb, we knew we weren’t going to get four in a row," MacArthur said, according to Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun.

Through two games, the Senators have outshot the Penguins 58-57, showing that their 2-1 regular-season record against Pittsburgh wasn't a fluke.

So, while they won't win four games in a row, taking the series isn't out of the question for MacArthur's team.
