Preview: Penguins at Senators

The Penguin are making a visit to the underperforming Senators tonight at 7:30. The Senators are so unremarkable this season, I don't have any witticisms to throw at them.



PENGUINS
Senators


Opponent Notes
The Senators could be a good opportunity to give Brent Johnson a start if the Penguins want. They're just not clicking this year, despite dealing with Dany Heatly, and I think winning that trade.

That said, one can never write any team off, as to paraphrase Herb Brooks: You can play a team 100 times, and lose to them 99 of those times. But there's always that one.

However, I don't think that the Penguins will have too many problems with this struggling team, and if the team keeps clicking like they have been, this could be a big win for the Penguins.

I am hoping to be able to see Brian Elliott, so I can decide if he's the real deal or not. Another interesting storyline lies in a story I read somewhere that the Senators' star, Jason Spezza and agitator teammate Chris Neil had some serious, heated words at a practice. Should be a good game.
