Tonight's game also marks the first time that Kyle Turris will return to Canadian Tire Centre since the November 4th blockbuster trade between the Senators, Predators and Avalanche that saw Ottawa acquire Matt Duchene.
Turris skated in 407 games with the Sens where he recorded 274 points (117G, 157A) but will probably most fondly be remembered for his clutch overtime playoff goals as well as the great impact he had in our community.
"He was an important part of our team and an important part of the city," said former linemate Mark Stone. "I'm sure he'll get a warm welcome and deservedly so."
