Game Day- Senators Host Canadiens on Saturday Night

This will likely not come as a surprise after we collectively threw back 240 SensChirp beers last night but I am not exactly in peak condition today.

But that toilet seat logo isn’t going to post itself.

The Ottawa Senators host the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night.

There are few things better than watching the Senators roll into Toronto and completely embarrass the Toronto Maple Leafs but a home ice win over the Habs might be pretty close.

Do the right thing, Sens.

One change to the Ottawa lineup as Tyler Motte plays for the first time in more than a month. No word on who comes out as DJ Smith plans to make a decision in warm-up.

Tkachuk-Stützle-Joseph
DeBrincat-Greig-Giroux
Brassard-Pinto-Batherson
Kelly/Motte-Gambrell-Watson

Chabot-Holden
Sanderson-Hamonic
Brannstrom-Zaitsev

You don’t see it often but with Cam Talbot injured, would assume that Anton Forsberg starts for a second straight night.

Puck drop is scheduled for 7:08 PM at the CTC. The game is available on Sportsnet (nooooooo) and on the radio at TSN1200.

Okay. Let’s have a look at this evening’s match-up, shall we?
