Game Day- Senators Visit Blue Jackets in Columbus

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.

The Ottawa Senators visit the Columbus Blue Jackets on Sunday night.

DJ Smith just wrapped up his media availability and it sounds like they’ll roll with the same lineup as last night.

No game day skate so a best guess at how they’ll arrange the forward combinations and defence pairings.

Tkachuk-Stützle-Giroux
DeBrincat-Pinto-Batherson
Joseph-Greig-Gambrell
Brown-Kastelic-Watson

Sanderson-Zub
Brannstrom-Bernard-Docker
Kleven-Holden

Cam Talbot gets the start in goal for Ottawa. Leevi Meriläinen has been recalled from Belleville and will dress as the back up.

Puck drop is scheduled for 6:08 PM in Columbus. The game is available on TSN5 and the radio at TSN1200.

Here’s a closer look at this evening’s match up via the HEAD2HEAD table.
