With just five games left in the regular season, the Ottawa Senators get a visit from their provincial rivals, The Toronto Maple Leafs.
The Senators come into this one having won four straight while the Leafs have lost back to back games. Toronto needs just one more win to assure themselves a spot in the playoffs in a couple weeks but have also seen their lead over the Senators dwindle to just a single point. Should be another wild game at Scotiabank Place.
The Rangers, Islanders and Jets all continue to win at the back of the pack and aren't making life easy for the Sens and Leafs as they both try to secure places in the top eight. Long Island is in Winnipeg tonight in a huge game for both teams.
Just the one line up change for the Sens as Matt Kassian draws back into the line up in place of Guillaume Latendresse. He'll skate on the fourth line with Zack Smith and Chris Neil. Craig Anderson gets the start in the Ottawa goal. Here is how the Senators are expected to line up.
Anderson
Phillips-Methot
Cowen-Gryba
Wiercioch-Gonchar
Michalek-Turris-Alfredsson
Conacher-Zibanejad-Silfverberg
Greening-Pageau-Condra
Kassian-Smith-Neil
Puck drop is just after 7:00 PM with the game available on CBC's Hockey Night in Canada.
GO SENS GO!
