Game Day- Senators Out to MULCH Leaves Again

It’s time to turn the page.

Sure, Monday night was one of the most incredible games in Sens history but we need to focus on the task at hand.

5-1.

The Ottawa Senators and Toronto Maple Leafs continue their three-game series with another match-up at the Air Canada Centre.

5-2.

On Monday night, the Maple Leafs were in complete control. For the first 39 minutes anyway. They were guilty of letting their foot off the gas and Ottawa made them pay for it. It was an impressive effort by the Senators but now they have to find a way to turn their attention to tonight’s match-up.

5-3.

DJ Smith just wrapped up his morning media availability and there will be one change. Erik Brannstrom was activated from the IR yesterday and he draws in. Christian Wolanin appears to be the odd man out. Both Colin White and Thomas Chabot missed practice yesterday but will be available for this one.

5-4.

Here’s a look at how the Senators are expected to line up.

Tkachuk-Tierney-C. Brown
Paul-White-Dadonov
Stützle-Stepan-Batherson
Anisimov-Norris-Watson

Chabot-Zaitsev
Reilly-Zub
Brannstrom-Gudbranson

5-5.

No word on a starting goalie just yet but Matt Murray is available. He’ll start one of the next two games for sure.

Puck drop is scheduled for just after 7:00 PM with the game available Sportsnet, TVA and on the radio at TSN1200. Illegal internet streams are included with your SensChirp Premium account.

6-5.
