Game Day- Senators Visit McDavid’s Oilers

This is going to come as a great shock to many of you, because we just did this the other day, but the Ottawa Senators are going to play another hockey game tonight.

One on Thursday and then, if you can believe it, another one on Saturday night.

On the heels of one of their best performances of the season, the Senators travel to Edmonton to take on the struggling Oilers.

At least one change expected to the Ottawa lineup as Connor Brown comes out after suffering a broken jaw BEFORE Thursday’s game against the Flames. As in, he played an entire game (and played it well, by the way) with a broken jaw. Yeesh.

Tim Stützle returns. Adam Gaudette draws in for Connor Brown.

Tkachuk-Norris-Batherson
Formenton-Paul-Stutzle
Sanford-Gambrell-Watson
Ennis-Tierney-Gaudette

Chabot-Bernard-Docker
Holden-Zub
Brannstrom-Brown

Matt Murray is expected to get the start in goal.

Puck drop is scheduled for just after 10:00 PM so get those pregame naps in and for the love of god, pace yourselves. The game is available on TV I think, radio I’m pretty sure and on illegal stream, you would expect.

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

Oh….and go Bills.
