Open Thread, Pre-Season Game 7: Buffalo Sabres @ Ottawa Senators

This is it for the pre-season, hockey that matters starts soon!

There was lots of talk this week of tonight's lineup being the opening night lineup, so here's where we are right now:

Hoffman-Turris-Stone
Dzingel-Brassard-Ryan
Smith-Pageau-Pyatt
Kelly-Neil

Methot-Karlsson
Phaneuf-Ceci
Boroweicki-Chabot/Wideman

Anderson (Starter)
Hammond

This is, of course, barring returns from Lazar or MacArthur before the season opens. It's not quite set in stone either so a particularly good or bad performance could lead to changes, but for now expect to see this again on Wednesday.

Tonight's game isn't televised, but you can catch it on the radio.
