Let’s do that again, shall we?
Less than 24 hours after a much-needed win in Toronto, the Ottawa Senators are right back at it as they host the surprisingly competent Vancouver Canucks.
DJ Smith is scheduled to meet with the media at 4:45 PM in Ottawa so we’ll find out if there are any changes to the lineup. Artem Zub was a bit of a surprise scratch last night in Toronto so hopefully he’s good to go tonight.
We’ll assume same lineup for now though.
Tkachuk-Norris-Batherson
Joseph-Stützle-Giroux
Kubalik-Chartier-Tarasenko
Kelly-Järventie-MacEwen
Sanderson-Bernard-Docker
Chychrun-Hamonic
Kleven-Matinpalo
Anton Forsberg is expected to get the start.
Puck drop is scheduled for 7:08 PM. The game is available on TSN5, Sportsnet Pacific and on the radio at TSN1200. Cliff can be counted to serve up some stream options a little closer to game time.
Here’s a look how these two teams match up. We’ll call it the HEAD2HEAD table.
