Well that’s more like it!
Not exactly a walk in the park and they got some big saves form Linus Ullmark at key points in the game but as far as sixty minute efforts go, that was the best we’ve seen in a few weeks. The Sens were the better team on Thursday night and they deserved the two points.
Now, do it again.
The Ottawa Senators host the Nashville Predators on Saturday night in the arctic tundra that is Kanata, Ontario.
A little bit of tinkering in the forward combinations based on what we’re seeing at the morning skate. Adam Gaudette spent last game on the fourth line but tonight he’ll start beside Tim Stutzle. Meanwhile, Ridly Greig is back on the team’s fourth line.
Here’s how Travis Green will line them up to start.
Tkachuk-Norris-Batherson
Giroux-Stützle-Gaudette
Cousins-Pinto-Amadio
Gregor-Ostapchuk-Greig
Sanderson-Hamonic
Chabot-Jensen
Kleven-Bernard Docker
Linus Ullmark starts again.
Puck will drop at 7:08 PM although it could be delayed as the Senators are planning a pre-game ceremony to honour the prolific goal scoring of Steve Larouche. The game is available on Sportsnet One, TSN1200 and on the friggin’ internet, if you can believe it.
HEAD2HEAD table is spending a second straight game in the press box.
