The Sens’ return to action after the bye week against the St. Louis Blues on Thursday didn’t exactly go as planned. They’ll need to be a lot better tonight if they want to avoid embarrassment against the division rivals Toronto Maple Leafs.
Nate Thompson sustained an injury in the first period of Thursday’s affair that will keep him out of tonight’s line-up. Colin White has been recalled from Belleville to fill in on Guy Boucher’s checking line. Otherwise, there are no changes expected to the lineup.
Tonight’s projected alignment:
Hoffman - Duchene - Ryan
Dzingel - Brassard - Stone
Pyatt - Smith - White
Dumont - Chlapik - Burrows
Oduya - Karlsson
Phaneuf - Ceci
Borowiecki - Chabot
Anderson (starter)
Condon
- Things may be dire in Ottawa, but the Leafs have been going through some drama of their own of late.
