The Ottawa Senators did not play well last night in Pittsburgh. See I know this because my rage levels still haven’t completely subsided after a night of listening to that damn air horn.
They’ll look to help me out with the aforementioned rage levels when they host the Winnipeg Jets.
After taking the night off in Pittsburgh, the Senators will do the same this morning. We’ll assume same lineup for now although I bet they find a way to get Dylan Gambrell back in there. Need the Gambrell line to set the tone.
A best guess for now…
Tkachuk-Stützle-Batherson
DeBrincat-Norris-Giroux
Brassard-Pinto-Joseph
Kelly-Kastelic-Watson
Chabot-Bernard Docker
Sanderson-Hamonic
Brannstrom-Holden
Anton Forsberg is the likely starter.
Puck drop is scheduled for 7:08 PM in Ottawa. The game is on the radio (TSN1200), the TV (Sportsnet One, CityTV????, Sportsnet West and TVA2????) and on the internet (StreamThoseSens.org). You could also put on your finest denim and start your evening at Country Night at the CTC and then almost certainly end up on the bull at Crazy Horse. One day.
A closer look at this evening’s match-up thanks to the HEAD2HEAD table. Yeeeeeehaw. See, because it’s Country Night.
