| | | 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. | | TAMPA BAY: LAST SEASON: 46-27-9, 101 points. Swept in first round of playoffs by Montreal.
COACH: Jon Cooper, second full season with Lighting, 51-35-12.

LOST: G Anders Lindback, F Ryan Malone, F Teddy Purcell, F Nate Thompson, D Sami Salo.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Ondrej Palat. One of the NHL's top rookies last season. With Steven Stamkos missing a significant portion of the year and Martin St. Louis departing in a late-season trade, Palat finished with team-leading 50 points, including 23 goals. Third among league rookies in goals and second in points, he led all rookies with 44 points after Jan. 1.
OUTLOOK: With Bishop healthy again after missing the playoffs with a dislocated elbow, many expect the Lightning to prosper in the relatively weak Eastern Conference and make a deep run in the playoffs. Stamkos has scored more goals (210) than any player in the league since the start of the 2009-10 season and Bishop is coming off a season in which he set franchise season records for wins (37), save percentage (.924) and goals-against average (2.23). |

*Senators-Lightning Preview* ============================
By ALAN FERGUSON STATS Writer
Ottawa (10-8-4) at Tampa Bay (15-6-2), 7:00 p.m. EDT
A defeat to the Ottawa Senators in October is one of the few the Tampa Bay Lightning have suffered at home this season.
The Lightning will seek to avenge that loss Saturday night with Steven Stamkos leading a highly productive top line and Ryan Callahan trying to build on a stellar performance.
Tampa Bay (15-6-2) managed to force overtime in Ottawa's previous visit Oct. 11, but couldn't come away with the second point in a 3-2 shootout loss. Brett Connolly tallied the tying goal with 7:26 left in regulation after the Senators scored twice in the third period.
The Lightning are 8-2-0 in Tampa since that game and have one of the Eastern Conference's best home records at 9-2-1.
They're also 10-3-1 in their last 14 overall after a 4-3 win over the New York Rangers on Wednesday. Callahan had two goals and an assist against his former team after producing one assist in his prior three games.
Callahan had eight goals and seven assists in his first 14 games but had no points against Ottawa (10-8-4).
Stamkos also had three points Wednesday, including his seventh goal in nine contests. Stamkos has scored a goal in a season-best three consecutive games, and first-line teammate Alex Killorn has four goals and two assists in his last six.
"(Callahan and Killorn) are great players in their own right, and they make me a great player as well," Stamkos said. "(Callahan) grinds it out. He goes to the net, and he can finish. (Killorn) is playing extremely well the last couple of games, and he's getting rewarded for it. He's got great skill and size.
"I think we're finding some chemistry, and, hopefully, we can keep it up."
Stamkos had one assist against the Senators in October, and has 10 goals and 11 assists in his last 18 matchups.
Ottawa enters having dropped three of four and has started 1-2-0 on a five-road trip following a 3-2 loss to Florida on Friday. Craig Anderson gave up two goals in the third period to his former team, and the Senators were outshot 18-4 in the final 20 minutes and 46-24 overall.
"We have too many excuses," coach Paul MacLean said. "We need results. We need people who want to come here and compete."
Playing on consecutive nights coupled with Anderson having given up a combined 18 goals in his last five games, MacLean could turn to Robin Lehner.
Lehner, 2-1-0 with a 2.28 goals-against average in his last three starts, was in net against Tampa Bay in October and recorded a shootout victory versus the Lightning in March.
The Lightning's top netminder Ben Bishop started the prior meeting and is 4-0-2 with a 2.55 GAA in seven starts against his former team.
Ottawa's Erik Karlsson has eight goals and five assists in his last nine games against Tampa Bay and has scored a goal in five straight matchups. He has two goals and five assists in his last 11 overall games.
