The Ottawa Senators continue with the back to back series of Metropolitan Division foes with the third and final meeting with the Penguins to conclude the month of March.
Ottawa is coming into this one off a back to back with their first matchup against Columbus the night before in their barn.
Captain Canada continues to make history as Sidney Crosby became the first player ever to record 20 point per game seasons in an NHL career.
The Penguins have an extra day of rest after being embarrassed by the Buffalo Sabres 7-3 on Thursday evening. With playoff hopes diminishing, they have begun promoting their top prospects for opportunity and hope before the new season begins in the fall.
