Senators play-by-play man says expectations are high going into the season

The Senators begin their season October 9th in Tampa Bay

The NHL season is upon us and we caught up with Ottawa Senators Play-by-Play man for TSN 1200 Dean Brown.

Expecations for this core are higher than ever after a playoff apperance, and Brown says that has comes across in training camp.

One of the bigger question marks headed into the year is the health of defencman Nick Jensen, who Brown says is looking better than some may think.

Jensen underwent hip resurfacing surgery, a procedure that only two players (Ed Jovanovski, Nicklas Backstrom) who've had it ever played another NHL game. 

Another question mark with health is goaltender Linus Ullmark, who is is entering his second season with the club.

Brown said his durability is as big of a question as the slower start he had a season ago.
