News Senators Team Notes

Three wins in a row against Vegas, Colorado, and New Jersey. That's a pretty solid stretch right there. Beating the league-leading Avalanche at home was impressive, but honestly the whole week has been a nice turnaround after that Carolina loss.

Good to see Ullmark back in net against the Devils too. Reimer played well against Colorado but having Ullmark healthy again gives them options down the stretch when they really can't afford to drop many games.

Still a long climb to get back into playoff contention - 10 points is a lot to make up - but at least they're showing some fight. The penalty kill sitting at 30th in the league is concerning though. That's the kind of thing that'll bite them in tight games if they don't figure it out.

Curious to see if Bourgault can stick around and contribute. Getting that call-up with Halliday out is a decent opportunity for him.
 
Game Day – Senators Travel to Pittsburgh to Visit Penguins



With just three games left before the three-week long Olympic break, the Ottawa Senators have life.

Three straight wins over the Golden Knights, Avalanche and Devils have the Sens suddenly feeling pretty good about their game again. Still a long climb back into the Eastern Conference playoff picture but big ol’ steps in the right direction.

The Senators will look to keep it rolling as they kick off a three-game road trip with a stop in Pittsburgh to see Sidney Crosby’s Penguins.

Could be one lineup change for the Senators as Thomas Chabot is being called a game-time decision. The plan is to have seven defenceman take the warm-up and make a call at puck drop. Let’s assume same as Saturday night for now.

Batherson-Stützle-Giroux
Tkachuk-Cozens-Greig
Amadio-Pinto-Zetterlund
Halliday-Eller-Cousins

Sanderson-Zub
Chabot-Jensen
Kleven-Spence

Linus Ullmark gets a second straight start in goal.

Puck is dropping at 7:08 PM. TSN5 and TVA Sports have the broadcast. TSN1200 and 104.7 FM have the radio call. Friendly internet pirates have the internet streams.

A closer look at tonight’s match-up courtesy of something widely referred to as “the best statistical table in most of Eastern Ontario”. Damn. High praise.
