Spezza scores one tonight too if he plays.

I think the Sens need to guard against coming out flat due to lack of action. The Preds will be itching to get back at it and win one in a back to back situation so I expect hard work and a strong attack from the Preds. As long as the Sens play smart until they get their legs under them they should be fine. The Preds may have the edge in that they're in game mode and not practice mode but that probably won't help them overcome the lack of offensive depth they're suffering through right now.

My guess is that the Preds have a strong first period where that desire to get a win in the back to back situation shows up. They'll be hungry for sure, but will proably run out of gas.

I don't know who called it, but I like the call of 4-0 Sens. If they can score first, that'll take the wind out of the Preds' sails.

Will Colin Wilson face the Rookie Killer's wrath tonight?

Sens lineup has more firepower, with Nashville losing many of it's top scorers to injuries.

Carkner will have to be on his toes protecting his teammates tonight.

Perhaps it's G as in Go, S as in Sens followed by another G as in Go?

Just thinking out loud on this.

So is that A-Train's alternate nickname -- RK?

Oh, he's got a long way to go to match us.

With the Nashville Predators in town tonight, the last thing the Senators need is their No. 1 centre hurting. While Spezza is listed as “probable,” he admitted he may sit out a few games to see if that helps the injury heal.
