As you may have heard, Daniel Alfredsson is going into the Hall of Fame this evening, and the Ottawa Senators plan on broadcasting the induction ceremony live at the Canadian Tire Centre after the conclusion of this evening’s match-up. So te first thing that we need to talk about is that today’s game gets underway at 5:30 Eastern. Yes, you read that right: 5:30. Now you’ve all been warned, no excuses for missing the first period!
On the actual game: the New York Islanders, and Jean-Gabriel Pageau, roll into town with a somewhat unexpected 10-6-0 record.
