San Jose Sharks (15-14-1) @ Ottawa Senators (16-11-5)
KEY MATCHUP
Mark Stone vs. Patrick Marleau
The Senators' winger is part of the next generation of players that may get a chance to carry the torch for their country. Stone's debut with Team Canada could be at the World Cup next September and it was Marleau who was counted on to play for his country many times in the past. This is a good opportunity for Stone to show he's ready for the international stage.
WHAT TO WATCH
A BETTER START
Simply put in two of the last three games, the Senators have had awful first periods.
