Open Thread: Ottawa Senators at Winnipeg Jets

An open thread to discuss tonight's preseason game against the Winnipeg Jets.

Ottawa plays its fifth game of preseason hockey against the Winnipeg Jets. Unfortunately, big guns like Erik Karlsson, Bobby Ryan, and Kyle Turris won't dress for the Senators. However, you'll still get to see Jets star Evander Kane and Winnipeg is starting Andrej Pavelec, so it's possible that someone like Erik Condra could manage a hat trick.

Robin Lehner's starting in goal so I'll leave you with this:
