Ottawa's Likely Goalie: Pascal Leclaire
Tampa Bay's Likely Goalie: Mike Smith
Preview Notes: Yeah, I know how bad the title is for this preview, shut up, I'm tired. On paper, this match up looks to be close, but luckly for the Senators Mike Smith should be getting the start. Smith missed the last 2 games due to neck problems, no doubt from watching the puck go behind him too much, and will be looking for his first win of the season. One interesting matchup will be Ottawa's penalty kill vs. TB's power play, which has looked strong so far this season. Ottawa will also need to keep a close eye on St. Louis, who has 9 points (3 goals, 6 assists) in the 5 games so far.
