Good news everyone!
I made a call down to Gary at league HQ and had that game against the Anaheim Ducks stricken from the record. Didn’t happen. Don’t wanna talk about. Not even worried about it.
So with that in mind, the Ottawa Senators look to continue their strong play when they visit the free-falling Blackhawks in the Emerald City on Saturday afternoon
Based on yesterday’s practice in Sin City, it seems like the Senators will have some reinforcements for this one. Both Artem Zub and Jake Sanderson were regular participants and according to Jacques Martin, both should be ready to go this afternoon.
No morning skate in The Big Easy but here’s a best guess at the lineup for now.
Tkachuk-Norris-Batherson
Joseph-Stützle-Giroux
Greig-Pinto-Tarasenko
Kubalik-Kastelic-Kelly
Sanderson-Zub
Chabot-Bernard Docker
Chychrun-Hamonic
Feels like an Anton Forsberg kind of game.
Puck drop is scheduled for just after 3:00 PM in the Big Apple. Frankly, I don’t know what channel the game is on but surely it’s out there somewhere. Dean and Gord have the call on TSN1200. If internet streaming is more your bag, keep an eye on the comment section below. Somewhere amongst the heated geopolitical debate and the shrewd investment advice, you’ll find the links you need.
Wondering how the Senators match-up with the raging tire-fire that is the Chicago Blackhawks? Gaze downward.
