Oops. Forgot to unlock the door when I came in this morning.
As far as losses go, that one at the hands of the Buffalo Sabres was about as infuriating as it gets. Partly because the team played so well and partly because they don’t make endings much more ridiculous than that.
The good news is, if they keep playing like that, they’ll be just fine. Unless the officials decide otherwise, I suppose.
The Senators visit the Penguins in the Emerald City later tonight.
DJ Smith just met with the media in The Big Easy and outlined one change to the lineup as Tyler Ennis sits in favour of Clark Bishop. No game day skate for the Senators in the Mile High City today.
A best guess at how they’ll line up in the Charm City this evening.
Tkachuk-Norris-Batherson
Formenton-Stützle-Sanford
Paul-Gambrell-Watson
Bishop-Tierney-Gaudette
Chabot-Zub
Brannstrom-Brown
Holden-Bernard-Docker
Anton Forsberg is expected to get the start in Sin City. Matt Murray is still dealing with a bit of a non-COVID illness but he is expected to dress as the back-up for the Senators.
Puck drops at 7:08 PM in the Big Apple. The game is available on TSN5, RDS and on the radio at TSN1200. If you’re looking for a stream of the festivities from the City of Trees, keep an eye on the comment section closer to game time.
