Finally home from my Vancouver trip and not a moment too soon as the Sens get set to play another huge game in their push for an Eastern Conference playoffs spot.
Tonight's opposition is Henrik Lundqvist and the New York Rangers. The Blueshirts come into this game trailing the Ottawa Senators by just seven points and with a game in hand. The Rangers are holding down the 8th and final spot while the Senators are a little more comfortable in 5th.
Just a quick post for now until I can get settled but here is how the Senators were lined up at the morning skate.
Hoffman-Turris-Alfredsson
Latendresse-Zibanejad-Silfverberg
Greening-O'Brien-Neil
Kassian-Smith-Condra
Wiercioch-Gonchar
Gryba-Methot
Phillips-Benoit
Peter Regin is the extra forward and Mike Lundin the extra defenceman. Ben Bishop gets the start in the Ottawa goal. More coming after tonight's game.
GO SENS GO!
