"I didn't get to play [in Ottawa last season]. … But I have a lot of friends and family coming tonight either way, so it should be cool." -- Stars defenseman Marc Methot on first game back in Ottawa since he was selected by the Vegas Golden Knights in the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft "It's been a blast coming to the rink. The season last year, as a whole, I think we lost sight of that because of all the things that were going around us, but that's detracted. …. We've got a group of guys that are kind of leading by committee in the wake of some big games."-- Senators forward Bobby Ryan
Stone did not participate in the morning skate but will play. Senators coach Guy Boucher said he has a nagging injury. … Ottawa will dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen for the second straight game.
