  • Jeremy Milks doesn't like the idea of sitting Erik Karlsson a second straight game. (Black Aces)
  • Everyone on the prediction panel thinks the Senators should win tonight's match up against the Dallas Stars. (Sens Extra)
  • Report 1: Erik Karlsson doesn't like being a scratch because you learn more on the ice than off it. (Citizen)

  • Nichols wonders if the Senators would be able to nab Brad Richards as a free agent on July 1st -- they'll have the cap space for it. (The 6th Sens)
