Ya know, this “Welcome Home” party kinda sucks.
At least so far. After an encouraging road trip where they ended on a high-note, the Ottawa Senators have stumbled a little bit lately. Despite being back in front of their fans after three long weeks and with their Captain finally healthy, the Sens have looked surprisingly lifeless.
They’ll look for some kind of spark as the New Jersey Devils roll into town on a Tuesday night.
Could be one lineup change as it seems like Lars Eller might be ready to return. He took a regular shift on the fourth line during the morning skate and is being called a game time decision.
This is how they’re expected to line up to start…
Cousins-Stützle-Zetterlund
Tkachuk-Cozens-Batherson
Amadio-Greig-Giroux
Halliday-Eller-Perron
Sanderson-Zub
Kleven-Spence
Matinpalo-Jensen
Linus Ullmark starts.
Puck drop is scheduled for 7:08 PM at The Tire. The game is on TSN5, TSN1200, 104.7 and if you play your cards right, illegal streaming options may be in your future too.
