Ottawa Senators News & Notes:

The Senators have won four games in a row, capped with a dominant 6-0 victory over the Minnesota Wild. Following tonight’s game, Ottawa will head to Tampa Bay to face the Lightning in an Atlantic Division showdown tomorrow night.

Nashville Predators News & Notes:

Nashville is just outside the playoff picture this season. After an offseason of big additions, this is disappointing. Now, the Predators front office looks toward the trade deadline for some improvements. Could an increased salary cap help Nashville add long-term solutions?
