Nashville Predators at Ottawa Senators, Oct 22, 2009 7:30 PM EDT
Finally, we've got another game. Here's Ottawa's lineup for tonight:
Darren's Take: This game marks the triumphant return of Peter Regin, who missed three games with a shoulder injury. He'll take to the ice against the only team with a power play that is worse than the Senators'. Hopefully, the Senators take advantage of playing an offensively-challenged team (that is missing key forward Jason Arnott) and give the Predators the same kind of warm welcome they gave to the Tampa Bay Lightning. A note of caution though: the Predators have historically done very, very well against Pascal Leclaire, who will be starting in net for the Sens.
Also, here's hoping a banged-up Jason Spezza and linemate Jonathan Cheechoo manage to get their first goals of the season to silence some of their critics.
Be sure to join along in the comments once the puck drops at 7:30pm!

Alexandouche Picard

Picard looks beaten down, and well, he desrves it.
I hope CC keeps Leclaire in because none of this has been his fault.
by albanada on Oct 22, 2009 8:02 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Leclaire
After the first game, I thought Leclaire looked, well… rusty. But ever since, he’s been fantastic and some of his saves have been flat out amazing.
As for Picard, he does look like he could use a break to get things together again. But doesn’t the geek in you wish CC would make him captain, just for a day? No, that’s probably just me.

No doubt. They looked like a team with too much time to practice and not enough time at game speed. They looked so bad I’m surprised they didn’t play dodgeball at some point in the previous days.
