He’s baaaaaaack.
After suffering a devastating injury during training camp, fan favourite Jean Gabriel Pageau makes his return to the Ottawa line up. A good two months ahead of schedule too.
No pressure, JGP but we’re going to need a whole bunch of those four-goal games down the stretch.
The forever slumping Ottawa Senators play host to the Carolina Hurricanes today at the Canadian Tire Centre.
Little known fact but there has never been an entertaining game between these two teams. So clear your schedules, folks. Also, somehow, Joe Corvo is scoring for the Hurricanes today.
Guy Boucher met with the media this morning and confirmed that he will do the unthinkable and go with a conventional 12/6 alignment. Innovator.
Rudolfs Balcers will play a second straight game and Nick Paul is the odd man out. One of the seven defenceman that played yesterday will sit too. Here’s a best guess at the line up for this one.
Heatley-Spezza-Alfredsson
Arvedson-Bonk-Hossa
McEachern-Yashin-Dackell
Havlat-Pageau-Stone
Chara-Karlsson
Redden-Duchesne
Phillips-Volchenkov
Excited to see what that fourth line can do together.
Marcus Hogberg starts. Puck drops just after 1:00 PM.
The game is available on TSN5 and RDS2.
No table today but here is the final score in the two playoff football games, for those who are curious.
Chargers 20 Ravens 23
Eagles 31 Bears 20
