|
| |  | OTTAWA: LAST SEASON: 37-31-14, 88 points, finished 11th in the Eastern Conference and missed the playoffs.
COACH: Paul MacLean, fourth season with Ottawa, 102-79-30.
ADDED: RW Alex Chiasson, C David Legwand.
LOST: RW Alex Hemsky, C Jason Spezza.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Bobby Ryan. The right winger is in the final year of a five-year, $25.5 million deal, and according to general manager Bryan Murray has decided to wait before determining whether to re-sign. Murray noted the sides will talk ''in October or November to get something done.''
OUTLOOK: It was only 2012 and 2013 when many thought Ottawa was a franchise on the ascent after back-to-back playoff appearances. Now the Senators are facing an uncertain future as Ottawa lost centers Daniel Alfredsson and Spezza the last two offseasons. There is a very real possibility the organization may have to deal Ryan and Methot during the season if the players cannot come to terms with the team. It is not a playoff formula. | | ST LOUIS: LAST SEASON: 52-23-7, 111 points. Tied for third overall in Western Conference, lost in first round to Chicago.
COACH: Ken Hitchcock, third full season with Blues. 124-55-20. 657-405-178 overall in 18 seasons, seventh on career win list.
ADDED: C Paul Stastny, C Jori Lehtera, D Carl Gunnarsson, C Colin Fraser, F Robby Fabbri.
LOST: G Ryan Miller, D Roman Polak, F Vladimir Sobotka, F Brenden Morrow.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Jaden Schwartz. Signing Stastny in free agency creates open ice for everyone else. Schwartz led team at plus-28 last season and scored 25 goals.
OUTLOOK: They've been among the NHL's best regular-season teams the last few seasons, and one of the stingiest, too. Last season they allowed the third-fewest goals, plus defensemen Alex Pietrangelo and Kevin Shattenkirk are highly productive joining the rush. They appear to have enough firepower to contend for an ever-elusive first Stanley Cup, although as usual there's plenty of competition at the top of the Western Conference. |

*Senators-Blues Preview* ========================
By NOEY KUPCHAN STATS Writer
Ottawa (9-7-4) at St. Louis (14-6-1), 8:00 p.m. EDT
The St. Louis Blues return home with momentum on their side after closing their road trip with back-to-back victories.
One of those wins came at the expense of the Ottawa Senators.
The Blues try to beat the Senators for the second time in four days when these teams meet at Scottrade Center on Tuesday night.
St. Louis (14-6-1) got by Ottawa 3-2 on Saturday before closing a 2-2 road trip with a 4-2 win at Winnipeg the following day. Alex Pietrangelo and Alexander Steen each had two assists while Jake Allen made 28 saves.
"Two huge wins after two tough losses at the start of the trip," Allen told the league's official website. "To be able to be back winning and head home was crucial for us."
David Backes, Ryan Reaves, Jaden Schwartz, Paul Stastny all scored as St. Louis went 2 for 5 on the power play. Schwartz is second on the team with 21 points, 13 of which have come in the last 10 games.
"We're just playing a really good team game, a sound team game," Steen said. "A lot of us benefit from other lines pushing teams back and getting matchups."
It was Steen, Vladimir Tarasenko and Maxim Lapierre who provided the offense against the Senators. Brian Elliott made 24 saves against his former team as the Blues outshot Ottawa 25-14 over the final two periods.
St. Louis is 3-0-2 in the series since 2010-11.
"They're making hockey plays and we're not," Senators forward Clarke MacArthur afterward. "We're not making good passes. They're going tape-to-tape and moving it, and we weren't, so it's tough to get momentum."
The Senators' recent woes continued Monday in a 4-3 loss at Detroit, their sixth defeat in eight games. Kyle Turris gave the Senators (9-7-4) an early 1-0 lead before the Red Wings scored four consecutive goals and put the game out of reach.
Erik Karlsson scored early in the third period and Chris Neil cut the deficit to one with 35 seconds to go.
"They schedule it for 60 minutes and you have to play all three periods," coach Paul MacLean said. "We said 'lets go out and win the third period'. See if we can come into the third period and create some momentum going into (Tuesday) night's game and we did that."
Craig Anderson finished with 39 saves, dropping to 1-2-2 with a 3.11 goals-against average over a five-start stretch. He owns a 2.84 GAA on the road, more than a goal higher than his home mark of 1.75.
"They capitalized with some loose pucks in front," Anderson said. "They got lucky. ... All three goals in the second period were off the posts. I've got to do better than that with the rebounds."
Anderson, who took a backseat to Robin Lehner on Saturday, is 4-2-0 against the Blues despite a 3.29 GAA. Lehner is 2-1-0 with a 2.86 GAA in the series after stopping 30 shots Saturday.
Elliott is 2-0-1 with a 1.96 GAA against Ottawa. He is 7-2-0 with a 1.97 GAA over his last nine games overall.
The Blues lead the league with 2.0 goals allowed per game. They've gone a Western Conference-best 12-3-0 since Oct. 25.
Blues defenseman Jay Bouwmeester is uncertain to be available after sitting out Sunday with a lower-body injury suffered the day before. The 12-year veteran had played in 737 consecutive games, the fifth-longest streak in NHL history.
