Big game tonight, the Sens are without Spezza and the Canes have had Ottawa's number the past two seasons and they need to have it tonight to stay in the hunt for the top 8.

Ottawa is still a great team and actually the best team in the NHL's Eastern Conference with the hottest goal tender in hockey right now in Craig Anderson. This test will truly tell the Canes where they stand among the NHL's finest.

I advise you not to look at the standings unless you have to because the Canes are currently really close to the bottom, however we have played the least amount of games in the NHL. Back to back wins against the Senstors and Flyers would put us right back in the drivers seat.

News and Notes

Dan Ellis gets the start in net tonight.

Justin Faulk is back in the line up tonight.

Joe Corvo is also in the lineup tonight.

Bobby Sanguinetti is a heathy scratch.

Andreas Nodl will see his first action with the Canes tonight on the fourth line with Chad LaRose and Tim Brent.

Pat Dwyer will be bumped up to the third line with Jiri Tlusty and Jussi Jokinen.

Kevin Westgarth is a healthy scratch tonight.

Jussi Jokinen has been bumped to the top line on the power play and Jordan Staal will lead the second power play unit.

Go Canes!!!

      This.  He knows where the seam is about to open, cuts, and accelerates hard. He’s slippery and tacklers always seem to be taking awkward angles to get to him. No dancing. Runs low and powerful. Almost never goes backwards for a loss. We’ve rarely had the guy who bounces off of tacklers. It’s nice seeing another one.

      I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question.

      Same thing I first thought but then I saw it was against Jacksonville and took about half a second of playing to know. I was at that game.  I can't tell you my level of excitement when I saw it was Delhomme instead of Peete who came out for the 2nd half. Delhomme has and will probably always be my favorite Panther.
