The pre-season is almost over and we will soon find out if Spezza's minor strain is really just that. The Sens and Isles finish the longest preseason in recent history (8 games longer than last year) with two split-squad games in Ottawa and Barrie. To start things off, I am assuming that the B-squads will square off in Barrie at 6PM with the Isles sitting in the home end of the rink. Then at 7:30 the NHL-bound players will drop the puck with the Senators as the hosts. Let's hope they are not too hospitable.
