The Ottawa Senators host the Chicago Blackhawks tonight and hope to build on a modest two game winning streak.
Here’s tonight’s probable line-up:
Hoffman - Duchene - Ryan
Dzingel - Brassard - Stone
Pyatt - Pageau - Smith
Dumont - White - Burrows
Chabot - Karlsson
Phaneuf - Ceci
Harpur - Claesson
Anderson (starter)
Condon
Some thoughts:
- The Blackhawks have left Brent Seabrook at home for this one, making him a healthy scratch for the first time in his career. Seabrook has assumed a greatly reduced role this season, and neither his counting numbers nor his on-ice shot metrics look much good.
