So mystery solved, courtesy of James Mirtle:
Senators will hold a news conference on Wednesday at 11 a.m. Owner Eugene Melnyk will be joined by Gary Bettman to make major announcement.
The big news? Bank on it being Ottawa landing the 2012 all-star game.
Here’s the NHL Net’s press release:

good that NHL Network is showing this press conference live. good that it’s nothing drastic, because I was thinking that NHL Network was joining forces with ESPN in the US or they were going to drop their live game schedule in the US for the season. If either of those were to happen, I’d drop the channel from my lineup.
