Jason Spezza to return tonight?
It is appearing more and more likely that Jason Spezza will return to the Senators lineup tonight against the Tampa Bay Lightning. This would be few days earlier then expected after sitting out the past 3 games with a back injury.
The Ottawa Senators might need a boost to help end their current rough stretch. The return of Jason Spezza could be it.
The Senators might have their star center back as they try to avoid a third consecutive loss Thursday night against the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning.
After missing Ottawa’s past two games due to back pain, there’s a chance Spezza could return as the Senators (6-4-2) face Tampa Bay for the third time this season.
Spezza took part in a full practice Wednesday, but his status will likely be a game-time decision.

Yeah, he’s in. Donovan and Winchester are the scratches.
Potentially, Spezza and Alfredsson will be paired up tonight for the first time this year (5 on 5). Look for Shannon to be on line 2 with Fisher and Kovalev and look for Cheechoo to be on the 4th line.
