Preview Notes:
- Senators won first meeting this season, 4-2
- Sens looking to rebound from a Maple Leafs like effort against Tampa
- Not exactly a news flash, but Thrashers not doing so hot since Kovalchuk went down
- Spezza may not play... but has he really been playing all season?
- Ottawa could use the two points to keep pace with those pesky Sabres
- Is anyone in Atlanta even paying attention to this team now that Kovalchuk is out?
- Who will Chris Neil cheap shot tonight?
- The Thrashers' Kane has never punched a cab driver
