The Senators media posted tonight’s anticipated lines early, about 2pm.

Beauvillier will skate in career game #700 tonight.

PP lines are from this mornings practice.

Kampf is still in Vancouver, presumably with a new born. Still no word on his visa.

It would be nice if this game starts tonight.

puck drop at 7:42

Hutson wasn’t born yet when OV was a rookie.

[richkrt99]

Hutson skates....passes to Duhaime 

[richkrt99]

finally got the feed to work and the "home feed" is not the home feed

[richkrt99]

how did Frank not put that in

[alta]

PK time

[alta]

game tied at zero after one

[alta]

Hutson doesn’t look bad, so far

[Mickstix]

Team lacks basic fundamentals. Only 4 shots in the first and got beat in the dot 10-2. Arizona Coyote stats. lol


Hutson looked good! You can already see he skates and handles the puck better than 90% of the team.

PP time

[alta]

PP2 goes out first

[richkrt99]

Hutson on the PP. Nice. 

[Mickstix]

Gonna be sad when Ovi goes ofer at home on the PP, for the season. 

[ArJunaZ]

Hutson doesn’t look bad, so far

GOOOAAALLLL

OVECHKIN

[richkrt99]
