The Big Matchup

Matt Duchene versus Kyle Turris

Turris started out red hot after the blockbuster three-way deal which sent him to Nashville from Ottawa, scoring five goals and 13 assists in his first 17 games. Since then, he has two goals and three assists in 19 games. Duchene, meanwhile, netted only three goals and three assists in his first 24 games with Ottawa. In his past 14 games, he has six goals and eight assists. Since the trade, the Senators have delivered a 12-22-4 record. The Predators have gone 24-7-5.

Five Keys To The Game

Keeping composure

The Senators allowed an early goal Tuesday against New Jersey, but rallied by taking advantage of power play opportunities later in the period. At other points in the year, they would have folded by being down early.

Keeping chemistry

The injuries have piled up among the Senators forwards, but Matt Duchene, Mike Hoffman and Colin White have found something special in recent games. They combined for three goals and six points against New Jersey.
