Silver Nuggets: Kyle Turris returns to Phoenix
Kyle Turris will make his return to Phoenix tonight in his first game back since the trade to Ottawa.

Silver Nuggets: Senators call up Stéphane Da Costa
With Zack Smith and Kaspars Daugavins getting injured in the victory over San Jose last night, the Senators were potentially down a forward even with Andre Petersson waiting. To remedy that situation, they have recalled Stéphane Da Costa from Binghamton today. Da Costa has done very well in...
Silver Nuggets: Murray eyes 'substantial' piece
Remember last week when Bryan Murray wanted to add at the deadline? Well he was speaking of that again yesterday, but now Murray specifies that while the depth is okay, the Senators need to add a substantial piece at the deadline. So what could this piece be? I am assuming a backup goalie, while a...
Silver Nuggets: Nick Foligno should not have received any penalty
Like most Sens fans, seeing Dion Phaneuf airborne after a Nick Foligno had me very, very happy. Then seeing the Maple Leafs captain go all caveman to fight Foligno and then sitting in the penalty box for Ottawa's equaliser was even sweeter. But should Foligno have received a penalty at all? From...

I don't have a dog though, because I hate pets. Senators Hart Trophy: Erik Karlsson and Jason Spezza as co-winnersYou take away...
Silver Nuggets: Bryan Murray looking to add at the deadline
Pierre LeBrun had a series of quotes after speaking to Bryan Murray this morning. Here is what Murray said about adding players at the deadline: "Yes, if we continue to get wins over the next month or so, you want to give your players the best chance you can. I'd be wrong if I didn't think that...
Silver Nuggets: Examining Erik's Eminence
Erik Karlsson is having a brilliant year so far. He's been touted as a candidate for the Norris Trophy. One blog even suggested Karlsson should be considered for the Hart Trophy. So how good has Karlsson been? He has 41 points in 43 games. That's eight more than the next closest defenceman. He's...
