They are not to be taken lightly.
They have at least a point in six of their last seven contests and they have just one regulation loss in the last 17 days. In terms of generating offence, including goals for and power play success rate and shots on goal, they are among the league’s best. Despite injuries to key players, they’re right in the thick of things in the Eastern Conference. Yes indeed, the Ottawa Senators are red hot.
…
The Senators visit the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday afternoon.
No game day skate so we’ll have to wait until closer to game time to find out if there are any changes planned. Expecting both Jordan Spence and Olle Lycksell to be in there though.
Cousins-Stützle-Batherson
Greig-Cozens-Perron
Amadio-Pinto-Giroux
Lycksell/MacDermid-Eller-Zetterlund
Sanderson-Zub
Chabot-Jensen
Kleven-Matinpalo/Spence
Two games this weekend so expect Ullmark and Merilainen to each get a game. The order is unclear.
Puck drops at 1:08 PM in Philadelphia. Govern yourselves accordingly. The game is on TSN5 and on the radio at TSN1200 and 94.7 FM en francais. Early-rising internet pirates are hard at work to get you some streaming options in time for this afternoon.
Wondering how these teams match up and have a thing for neatly arranged columns and rows? Well then cast your gaze downwards.
