After both general manager Bryan Murray and head coach Cory Clouston were given a vote of confidence by Ottawa Senators' owner Eugene Melnyk over the weekend, the question that now presents itself is the following: 'What do they do now?'

Well according to Clouston, it's business as usual.

"My job doesn't change," Clouston told reporters following Senators practice Monday. "I'm going to do everything I possibly can to win tomorrow night's game and to prepare our players."

Clouston said that he had no plans to alter his style and neither should the players.

"Our jobs shouldn't change," Clouston added. "It shouldn't take that comment or statement from our owner to make us play better."

It was a sentiment that was echoed by Murray when he had his opportunity to address the assembled media.

"We are going to try and win some hockey games down the stretch," Murray told reporters on Monday.  "I've had some discussions with Eugene based on that.  I think that it's the same as always, we are just trying to win.  I know that there's some people that think otherwise, in terms of being competitive down the stretch, I think for all of our guys it's going to be very important."

Change seemed inevitable following back-to-back blowout losses last week to the Philadelphia Flyers and the Montreal Canadiens.  However it appears as though both the coach and general manager will remain employed by the Senators until at least the end of the season.
