OTTAWA -- The Ottawa Senators will try to pick up the pieces from their most shattering loss of the season when they face the Edmonton Oilers at Canadian Tire Centre on Thursday night.
It will be their second game since it was revealed that captain Erik Karlsson and his wife Melinda lost the son they were expecting in June.
In their first attempt, the Senators (26-35-11) looked understandably absent in a 7-2 loss to the Florida Panthers on Tuesday.
"Everybody's heartbroken, it's awful," coach Guy Boucher said afterward.
