Game Day- Senators Begin Homestand vs. Coyotes

The Arizona Coyotes are in town tonight and you know what that means- it means ______________________.

The Ottawa Senators are kicking off a six game homestand which begs the question- _____________.

With 26 games remaining in the regular season, there’s not a lot left to play for around these parts. Well of course there’s the _________ and the _________ but other than that, we are mostly just playing out the string.

Oh and another thing. __________________.

Here’s how the Senators are expected to line up for this one. Assuming ________ and the _____________.

Tkachuk-Pageau-C.Brown
Namestnikov-Tierney-Batherson
Paul-Anisimov-Duclair
Chlapik-White-Ennis

Chabot-Hainsey
Borowiecki-DeMelo
Reilly-Zaitsev

Sneaky DJ Smith refused to name a starting goalie for this one but it’s safe to assume Marcus Hogberg gets the call tonight. OR DOES HE?!

Puck drop is scheduled for 7:38 PM with the game available on TSN5, RDS and can be streamed illegally for the freeloaders among us.

If you’re headed to the game, unfortunately no cheap beer yet so you’ll have to pay the normal price of $49.99 for a Coors Light.

Here’s a closer look at tonight’s match-up.
