The Ottawa Senators regular season concludes this evening at home with a tired Carolina Hurricanes amidst their load management schedule.

Both teams made the playoffs and know their opponents, so there is no real consequence to this contest other than potential in season milestones and draft order, or Ottawa forfeits this year’s pick. Thanks Dorion.

Carolina and Ottawa last played in December. Since then, Mikko Rantanen was a Hurricane; Taylor Hall is a Hurricane from the same Rantanen deal; and Logan Stankoven has been acquired in a different Rantanen move. Mark Jankowski and Alexander Nishkin have also joined since.
