The Sens enter Dallas for the last matchup of a four game road trip that’s seen them beat Vegas, but lose to Washington and Arizona. The Stars are currently in the first wild card spot in the West, with Colorado, St. Louis, and Los Angeles within four points.
Here’s how we expect the Senators to line-up, with everyone looking healthy except Chris Wideman (who’s trying to get some games in this season!):
Hoffman - Duchene - Paajarvi
Ryan - Pageau - Stone
Dzingel - O’Brien - Pyatt
Gaborik - Smith - Burrows
Claesson - Karlsson
Harpur - Ceci
Borowiecki - Chabot
McCormick, Burgdoefer (extras)
Anderson (starter)
Condon
Meanwhile, the Stars have three key injuries — forwards Radek Faksa and Martin Hanzal, in addition to defenceman Esa Lindell.
