Senators, Canadiens set to take it outdoors for NHL100 Classic

We look pretty good for 100 years old, don't we? (Let's assume you agree, and we thank you for your kindness.)
And things are going to be looking pretty good in Ottawa on Saturday as the Senators and the Montreal Canadiens prepare for the
2017 Scotiabank NHL100 Classic
, a special outdoor game as part of the ongoing celebration of our Centennial year.

The game is set for 7 p.m. ET (NBCSN, CBC, SN, TVA Sports, NHL.TV) from historic Lansdowne Park. And just when you thought this game couldn't get any cooler, the forecast calls for a temperature of about 7 degrees Fahrenheit with a slight chance of snow.
Also, check out some of the sights and sounds from the Canadiens and the Senators.

Cold? What Cold?

Haliburton, Ontario, native Matt Duchene, the Ottawa Senators' big trade acquisition last month, says his dad is a big reason
he'll be right at home playing outside in the cold

Dance party

Craig Wyszomirski, a defenseman for the Manchester Monarchs of the ECHL, isn't just going to stand there and do nothing
when "YMCA" comes on
inside the arena, game or no game.

Good for you, Jack!

Buffalo Sabres forward Jack Eichel picked up his first NHL hat trick, albeit in a 5-4 overtime loss to the Carolina Hurricanes. Two of the three goals came in a span of 10 seconds.

Tricky Rick

Rangers forward Rick Nash came through with a steal and a tie-breaking unassisted goal in a
4-2 win
against the Los Angeles Kings, a game that also featured two career milestones.
