The Senators fell last night at the hands of the Montreal Canadiens but will have no time to dwell on the loss as they play host to the Buffalo Sabres.
Paul MacLean spoke with the media this morning and indicated that there will be no changes to the line up. That means Craig Anderson gets the start in goal and Rundblad and Konopka will be the healthy scratches.
It will be nice for the Senators to have an actual home game tonight. After match ups with the Leafs and Habs, I have had just about enough of watching other teams fans invade SBP. As Sens fans it is something we are used to but last night was on another level. There were times when it felt like a 70/30 split in favour of Habs fans in that building.
Not pleasant.
Ottawa actually played a pretty solid game against the Habs but just couldn't find a way to beat Carey Price in the third period. That and Montreal did a good job capitalizing on a couple turnovers by Kuba and Karlsson.
Ottawa will look to bounce back with the Sabres in town tonight. Buffalo also played last night and snapped a two game winning streak with a win over the Calgary Flames. Jhonas Enroth started last night so Ryan Miller is expected to get the nod against the Sens.
Here is how the Sens line up will look…
Greening-Spezza-Michalek
Foligno-Da Costa-Butler
Daugavins-Smith-Neil
Filatov-Winchester-Condra
Phillips-Lee
Kuba-Karlsson
Cowen-Gonchar
Tonight is Canadian Forces Appreciation Night and the Sens are asking fans to wear red. The game can be seen on CBC's Hockey Night in Canada or heard on the radio at the Team1200.
