Sens hockey! Tonight!
Jakob Chychrun did leave the morning skate at one point so we may have to wait and see if there’s a change coming there. Jiri Smejkal was called up from Belleville and is expected to play in the place of Angus Crookshank. Thomas Chabot won’t play but could be back this weekend.
Here’s how the Senators are expected to line up for this one.
Tkachuk-Pinto-Batherson
Joseph-Stützle-Giroux
Smejkal-Greig-Kubalik
Katchouk-Kastelic-Kelly
Sanderson-Zub
Chychrun-Bernard Docker
Kleven-Brannstrom
Joonas Korpisalo starts.
Puck drop is scheduled for 7:08 PM at The Tire. If you’re heading to the game, remember to leave a little bit early because it’s winter again for some reason. TSN5, TSN1200 and Bort have the viewing and listening options.
