Verses: Chris Hanson and the Nashville Predators
Ottawa Senators Record: 5-2-0 (2nd in the Northeast)
Nashville Predators Record: 2-5-1 (Last in the Central)
Senators Record vs. Predators Since 2005: 1-2
Senators Likely Goalie: Pascal Leclaire
Predators Likely Goalie: Pekka Rinne
Preview Notes: The Ottawa Senators will look to continue their hot streak and keep pace with the Buffalo Sabres in the Northeast when they take on the Nashville Predators.
So much for missing Dani Heatley, eh? The Senators have scored 22 goals so far this season and have continued to look great under coach Cory Clouston.
The Predators, however, are another story. With Jason Arnott out the already shiveling Predators offense is further gone. Nashville currently sits last in a very competitive Central division.
However, the Predators goaltending and defense has seemed to come together a bit better the last few game, and they will need to continue to play strong to hold off Ottawa's surprising decent offense. They had a very back and forth game agains the Bruins last night, but lost 3-2 when the Bruins scored two unanswered goals
Peter Regin will return tonight for the Senators, which leaves Donovan riding the bench. Jesse Winchester practiced yesterday, but is doubtful for tonight's game. Defenseman Filip Kuba has been skating as well, but is also doubtful. Clouston said Jason Spezza is fine and will play tonight.
