    <h3>Senators bring high-powered offense to Toronto</h3>

    <div class="pre">Ottawa (0-0) at Toronto (0-0) 7:30 pm EDT</div>

    TORONTO (Ticker) - After lasting just five games in the StanleyCup Finals, the Ottawa Senators will look to start the 2007-08campaign on a positive note.


    The Senators are eyeing the Stanley Cup again this year as theykick off their season Wednesday against the Toronto Maple Leafsin the regular-season opener for both teams.


    The only significant change this offseason in Ottawa occurredbehind the bench. Coaching the team is John Paddock, replacingBryan Murray, who moved up to the front office as the team'sgeneral manager.


    In Paddock's only experience as an NHL coach, he went106-138-27 in three seasons with the Winnipeg Jets from 1991-94.

    Paddock will have to figure out a way to deal with the loss ofdefenseman Tom Preissing, who signed with the Los Angeles Kingsin the offseason. The 28-year-old Preissing led the team'sblue-liners last season with 38 points in 80 games and tied forthird in the league with a plus-40 rating.


    He will benefit from the return of one of the top lines in theNHL. Dany Heatley, Jason Spezza and Daniel Alfredsson combinedto score 113 of the squad's 288 goals last season. They eachadded 22 points in the postseason, which tied for the leaguelead.


    The Maple Leafs made some significant additions in theoffseason. They traded for goaltender Vesa Toskala, who went26-10-1 with a 2.35 goals-against average and .908 savepercentage for the San Jose Sharks last season.


    Toskala will have to compete for the starting job with AndrewRaycroft, who went 37-25-9 with a 2.99 GAA and .894 savepercentage with Toronto last season. However, the Maple Leafssurrendered first- and second-round picks for Toskala, you dothe math to see who has the edge in goal.


    Toronto also picked up the services of center Jason Blake, whoinked a five-year, $20 million deal after scoring 40 goals withthe New York Islanders last season. The free-agent signinggives the Maple Leafs a legitimate scorer to compliment centerMats Sundin, who signed a one-year, $5.5 million deal.

    While Ottawa was making its run through the postseason, Torontowas forced to watch from home after missing the playoffs by onepoint.
