- This is a very important game. The Panthers are three points back of the Sens, so a win would pull them within one. This is the first game of one of the Senators toughest months, December, where they are currently 2-2-0. The Senators do not have more than one day off until the Christmas break, and Coach Cameron has promised the Sens extra days off and lighter practices if the team has success.
- Last year the season series was split 2-2. Turris had five points against the Panthers last year, and Karlsson had three. Both teams have been relatively hot.
- Expect Roberto Luongo to start for the Panthers. Craig Anderson is likely to get most, if not all of the starts for the Senators for the rest of the month. Backup Andrew Hammond is injured and the Senators do not have much trust in current backup Chris Driedger to steal them games.
