Pre-season game six: Ottawa Senators @ New York Rangers
I know it wasn't long ago I was celebrating the return of hockey, but now, I'm celebrating the rapidly-approaching end of the pre-season, and the beginning of the regular season that comes along with it. Tonight is the Ottawa Senators second-last exhibition game in New York against the Rangers.
No word on whether the team had a dodgeball game in Central Park, but hopefully they did, and proceed to go on another 11-game winning streak (nine of those would be regular season!). Brian Elliott will play the whole game tonight, and try to wrest the starting role with a strong showing.
The lines for tonight, according to @Scott_Macarthur:
Michalek-Spezza-Alfredsson
Foligno-Regin-Shannon
Ruutu-Kelly-Neil
Keller-Winchester-Butler
Phillips-Karlsson
Campoli-Gonchar
Cowen-Lee
Elliott
Leclaire
