Two days removed from a slashing incident that shook the bedrock of the hockey world, the Montreal Canadiens and Ottawa Senators will take to the ice tonight to play some hockey.
Lineup confirmations will come as close to game time as imaginable. Key confirmations being whether or not Mark Stone's micro-fracture will keep him out of the game, or if Max Pacioretty (who was without a tinted visor at practice this morning) has recovered from his concussion and will play his first game of the playoffs. Chris Neil maybe coming into the lineup raises some questions as to the Senators' intentions tonight, but until right before both coaches are required by NHL rules to get their official lineups submitted, we will all be left to wonder.
