Don't want to shell out for a ticket to Game 6 of the Battle of Ontario? The Ottawa Senators have you covered.

Fans will be able to catch Thursday night's must-win game for free on a 14-by-24-foot screen set up outdoors at Gate 1 of the Canadian Tire Centre, the team announced Wednesday afternoon.

The CIBC Red Zone, as the outdoor space is called, will open to the public at 4 p.m. Thursday.

Fans can buy beer and hotdogs, the team said, and there will also be pre-game activities like axe-throwing and hardest-shot contests. Parking will not be free, they added.

The Senators are trying to pull off a major comeback in the Battle of Ontario, losing the first three games to the Toronto Maple Leafs before winning Games 4 and 5.

The puck drops for Game 6 at 7 p.m.

If the Senators stave off elimination at home tomorrow night, they'll head to Toronto on Saturday for Game 7.
