There’s a game today!
It’s in Florida. It’s against the Panthers. And it’s soon.
Some changes expected to the line up too. After just a four game stint in Belleville, Erik Brannstrom is up with the big team and back on the blueline. Andreas Englund was recalled over the weekend and will also play.
Nikita Zaitsev is expected to miss the next week or so with what the team is calling a lower body injury. Max Lajoie is the odd man out on defence. Mikkel Boedker is a healthy scratch up front which really spoils the Hoffman v. Boedker grudge match we had circled on our calendars.
No game day skate for the visitors so a best guess at the line up for now.
Tkachuk-Pageau-Brown
Namestnikov-Tierney-Duclair
Ennis-Anisimov-White
Paul-Brown-Beaudin
Chabot-Goloubef
Brannstrom-Hainsey
Borowiecki-Englund
Anders Nilsson gets the start in goal for Ottawa.
The game is available on TSN5, TSN1200 and on that unnamed Facebook page you should all follow.
