OK, we won a game yesterday.
If we win today, it’s called “two in a row”. And if we win again on Tuesday, it’s called a “winning streak”. It has happened before.
The red-hot Ottawa Senators are right back at it tonight when they play host to Matthew Tkachuk and the Calgary Flames.
No game day skate for the Senators but DJ Smith just wrapped up his media availability and it sounds like there will be a couple changes.
As expected, no Shane Pinto for tonight and for the next little while. He’s currently being re-evaluated but the Coach says they’re not expecting him back any time soon. Sounds like surgery is a real possibility.
Scott Sabourin takes his place tonight.
Forward combinations and defence pairings are a bit of a guessing game at this point and based on how things played out last night, there could be a lot of line juggling throughout the game.
Tkachuk-Norris-Batherson
Stützle-Tierney-Sokolov
Kelly-Paul-Ennis
Sanford-Shaw-Sabourin
Chabot-Zub
Del Zotto-Bernard-Docker
Heatherington-Thomson
Anton Forsberg gets the start for Ottawa.
The puck shall drop at 5:08 PM. The game will be available for consumption via the television (TSN5), the radio (TSN 1200) and the internet (WatchSensHockey.org).
