Game 62 Preview and Open Thread: Ottawa Senators versus Columbus Blue Jackets

Have we ever had this much build-up as a fanbase for a game against Columbus? I genuinely want to know. Very few of us would have circled tonight’s game on our calendars quite as emphatically at the outset of the season—probably not even two weeks ago! Now the Senators return to Ottawa ready to celebrate Derick Brassard’s 1000th NHL game (against the team that drafted him (remember when he scored two goals against the team that traded him to Ottawa back in 2016?)) and with one shiny new Jakob Chychrun to introduce. Not that this fanbase needed a lot to get hyped about after that double-header against Detroit.
