Game 66 Preview + Open Thread: Ottawa Senators @ Nashville Predators

There will undoubtedly be many questions about the future of the franchise that must be answered in the days and weeks ahead but very little of that can be addressed today. One of the biggest challenges facing the players will be to remain focused on the games at hand amidst what is a bit of a surreal feeling. Melnyk’s role atop the organization had been the one constant on the team for the last nineteen years.
