For 11 seasons, Jason Spezza was frequently a key member of the Ottawa Senators, generating a point per game and eventually becoming their captain. The two parted ways heading into the 2014-15 season, however, and Spezza made his return to Ottawa as a member of the Dallas Stars.

The Senators and their fans greeted him warmly on Thursday, most notably providing this nice video tribute:

Update: The Stars ended up beating the Senators 6-3, although the margin of victory was inflated by two empty-net goals. Even with six tallies on the board, Spezza was able to score.
