KEY GAME INFORMATION
OTTAWA:

LAST SEASON: 41-31-10, 92 points. Lost to New York Rangers 4-3 in first round

COACH: Paul MacLean, 2nd season with Senators and NHL, 41-31-10.

ADDED: RW Guillaume Latendresse, D Marc Methot, D Mike Lundin.

LOST: LW Nick Foligno, C Zenon Konopka, LW Nikita Filatov, D Matt Carkner, D Filip Kuba.

PLAYER TO WATCH: D Erik Karlsson's continued emergence as the NHL's top play-making defenseman. The 22-year-old Swede won his first Norris Trophy in only his second NHL season after leading all blue-liners with 78 points (19 goals, 59 assists).

OUTLOOK: A surprising run to the playoffs led to captain Daniel Alfredsson's decision to put off retirement for at least one more season. The Senators have the capacity to build on last year under the firm direction of MacLean, the longtime Red Wings' assistant, who had an impressive debut as a first-time head coach.

WINNIPEG:

LAST SEASON: 37-35-10, 84 points. Missed playoffs by finishing 10th in Eastern Conference.

COACH: Claude Noel, 2nd season with Jets, 37-35-10; 3rd overall, 47-43-16 in NHL.

ADDED: C Olli Jokinen, LW Alexei Ponikarovsky, G Al Montoya.

LOST: G Chris Mason, LW Tanner Glass, RW Tim Stapleton, D Mark Flood.

PLAYER TO WATCH: After nearly making the team out of training camp last season, 19-year-old center Mark Scheifele is eager for another shot this year. He's a dependable two-way forward who's enjoyed a solid first half of the season playing for Barrie of the Ontario Hockey League.

OUTLOOK: Will the honeymoon of the NHL's return to Winnipeg be over after last season? The former Atlanta Thrashers are still stuck in what's becoming a tough Southeast Division. And until the NHL realigns its divisions, the Jets are still stuck with a grueling travel schedule that could wear them down in a tightly packed 48-game schedule.

*Senators-Jets Preview* =======================

Ottawa (0-0-0) at Winnipeg (0-0-0), 3:00 p.m. EDT

(AP) - The Ottawa Senators aren't going to fly under anyone's radar this season. The Winnipeg Jets are hoping to be the team that catches opponents by surprise this time around.

Everything seemed to come together for the Senators last year, and they're eager to build on the experience when they visit Winnipeg on Saturday as the NHL's shortened season gets underway.

The Senators weren't predicted to make much noise in 2011-12, but they surpassed expectations by making the playoffs as the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference. They then took the top-seeded New York Rangers to seven games in the opening round before finally bowing out.

First-year coach Paul MacLean finally seemed to be the right fit behind the bench, captain Daniel Alfredsson remained healthy, Jason Spezza finished fourth in the league in scoring with 84 points, Craig Anderson was solid in goal and Erik Karlsson posted 78 points en route to winning his first Norris Trophy.

Now the Senators, in a tough Northeast Division, will attempt to put all the pieces together again in a 48-game season after going 41-31-10 last year.

"I think we have a pretty good idea where our expectations should be and what we expect out of ourselves," Alfredsson said. "We can't control what everybody else thinks and I hope they think we're better than we were last year because I'm sure we did surprise a lot of people. But we have a pretty good idea of what kind of team we are and we know we have to work hard to be back in the playoffs."

MacLean was more blunt about his team.

"I feel good about it," he said. "But I'm also scared to death."

Alfredsson, now 40, believes his body can hold up to the rigors of the condensed schedule, but you can bet the Senators will be monitoring him closely.

Other teams will be monitoring Karlsson closely after his breakout season. In addition, Karlsson finds himself with a new defensive partner, Marc Methot, after the Senators chose to let Filip Kuba test free agency.

"With a guy like him I need to put my ego aside and really just feed him the puck as much as humanly possible," Methot said. "There's a reason why he was the best defenseman in the league last season and you just have to let him make plays and the more he has the puck on his stick the more opportunity he's going to have."

The Senators could be even better offensively this season than they were in 2011-12, when they finished fourth in the league with 243 goals. The addition of 22-year-old rookie Jakob Silfverberg and 25-year-old Guillaume Latendresse provides the Senators with two solid lines.

Silfverberg admits that starting the season in the AHL, where he led Binghamton with 13 goals and 16 assists, definitely worked to his advantage.

"Those 34 games ... were very good for me," he said. "It made me a whole lot better hockey player on the smaller ice surface."

The Jets also have high hopes heading into their second season in Winnipeg: They want to snag the playoff berth that seemed tantalizingly close last year.

Winnipeg (37-35-10) stumbled down the stretch, going 3-6-2 in its last 10 games to finish eight points behind Ottawa.

"When you look at all the numbers and you look at the way we performed last year, there were some glaring areas that we have to be better," coach Claude Noel said. "If we're going to find solutions to the problems that we have, then let's address the problems and let's find solutions to these problems."

So what are the problems?

Defensively, the Jets allow too many shots - quality shots - on their own net. Their defense, in particular Dustin Byfuglien, is great on offense. Byfuglien tied for second in the league in scoring by a defenseman with 53 points and overall the defense was No. 5 in scoring in 2011-12, but they need to be stronger in their own zone.

Youth is also a concern for Winnipeg. Evander Kane is just 21. Alex Burmistrov is, too. And Mark Scheifele? Well, he's just 19.

So, at times, the Jets will have to rely on players like Blake Wheeler, who just seems to keep getting better after leading the team with 64 points last season.

But Noel also wants to see a mental change in the rest of his team. And just like everything else in the short season, he needs that to happen quickly.

"I would just like us to start walking and behaving like winners," he said. "... That's the attitude difference that I'd like us to start thinking about."

The Southeast Division is not easy, as Carolina and Tampa Bay have made improvements, and Florida and Washington made the playoffs last season. The Jets will have to continue to fight for respect.

"But a lot of that is earned," Noel said. "Teams that are constantly above the line and in the playoffs, that just becomes a normal everyday existence for them. We haven't reached that point yet."

Ottawa won three of four over the Jets last season, winning 6-4 in both matchups at Winnipeg.
