In the wake of the sudden, unexpected death of team owner Eugene Melnyk, the Ottawa Senators are back in action tonight against the Nashville Predators. There will undoubtedly be many questions about the future of the franchise that must be answered in the days and weeks ahead but very little of that can be addressed today. One of the biggest challenges facing the players will be to remain focused on the games at hand amidst what is a bit of a surreal feeling. Melnyk’s role atop the organization had been the one constant on the team for the last nineteen years.
