The suddenly red hot Ottawa Senators will take their show on the road this afternoon when they pay a visit to Henrik Lundqvist and the New York Rangers.
The Sens come in to this one having won their last four contests, including a thrilling victory over the Florida Panthers on Thursday night. Paul MacLean is expected to go with the same line up at MSG.
Bobby Butler is healthy but will once again be on the sidelines. He has fully recovered from a groin injury but with the Sens playing well, will have to wait for a chance to draw back in. Same thing goes for Brian Lee who is a healthy scratch on defence.
The Sens did not skate this morning but expect them to go with the same combinations as the other night against the Panthers.
Greening-Spezza-Michalek
Foligno-Da Costa-Alfredsson
Daugavins-Smith-Neil
Winchester-Konopka-Condra
Cowen-Gonchar
Kuba-Karlsson
Phillips-Rundblad
Craig Anderson gets the nod for the Senators. Ottawa has recalled Robin Lehner to dress as the back up with Alex Auld unavailable. No word on what is wrong with Auld but the call up is considered temporary.
A reminder this is an early start today with puck drop coming shortly after 3:00 PM. All the action can be seen live on CBC's Hockey Night in Canada or on the radio at Team1200.
