The good word is that Pronger will be suspended for game 4. I think the suspension should be longer. It's the second time in the playoffs he's been suspended for a cheap shot to the head. I thought the NHL was going to start taking head-shots seriously, guess I was wrong.

Chris Neil continued his stellar play and earned himself the first star of the game. Neil is leading the Ottawa Senators right now with his physical play. The Senators as a team played more disciplined last night. The same can not be said for the Ducks. If the Ducks are going to keep giving Ottawa so many power-play chances, this series could change direction quickly.

Neither goal-tender was spectacular. But the Sen's did seem to be getting to Jean-Sebastien Giguere after a few bounces went Ottawa's way. Emery was looking more like he did in game 1 of the series, giving up lots of soft rebounds.

With Pronger out on Monday, Jiggy should be under even more pressure, and the Senators forwards should be feeling confident from Saturday's performance. I'm calling Monday's game for the Senators. I think Emery will have his touch back, and Ottawa will take the momentum to Anaheim.
