DJ Smith Dressing All of His Available Enforcers Against Montreal Saturday Night

Two nights ago, Ottawa Senators head coach DJ Smith suggested the Montreal Canadiens made a point of targeting his star players. That game featured a fight between Ottawa's Austin Watson and Montreal's Arber Xhekaj.

DJ Smith also said that his lineup tonight would reflect his words, and he is not a man to make idle threats. The Sens square off against the Habs again tonight, and his for his lineup, Smith is bringing all of his heavy hitters.

Watson, Scott Sabourin and Mark Kastelic are all drawing in, and each of their games is fairly one-dimensional; see a guy, hit a guy.

Smith clearly wants to send a message that his team won't be bullied around, even though Tim Stützle just needs a light breeze to knock him down. By dressing those players after saying he would, Smith obviously wants there to be a battle tonight.

Should be fun.
