We still seem to be doing some good things as a team."Even though the sens lost Spezza was happy with the result."We look like a different team than we did maybe a few weeks ago," said Jason Spezza."Guys are battling pretty hard and I think that comes with a little bit of confidence and being a little more sure with the puck.
