The Senators begin a four-game swing out West on Tuesday night, facing the news-making Edmonton Oilers. The Oilers were NHL trade deadline early birds yesterday, acquiring defenseman Connor Murphy from the Chicago Blackhawks. However, Murphy will not make his Oilers debut this evening. Andrew Mangiapane, who scored 35 goals in 2022, cleared waivers on Monday, and the Oilers sent him to the AHL. Mangiapane has been mentioned in NHL trade rumours involving several teams, including Ottawa. THN's Steve Warne and co-host Gregg Kennedy discuss how the Battle of Ontario has faded again after last year's playoffs. Here's how the chess pieces line up for the two clubs in game number two of the Sens five game road trip.
