The Senators are coming off maybe their most convincing win of the season, a 7-2 shellacking of the Lightning on Thursday. Meanwhile, this Devils team lost a 5-4 decision to the Sabres last night. A rested Sens team brimming with confidence should win this one, so who knows what will actually happen?
No morning skate but DJ Smith did mention in his availability that Jakob Chychrun will miss a couple of weeks with a lower body injury, and Ridly Greig is done for the year with a sternum injury. Nick Holden will draw in for Chychrun. The starting goalie has not yet been announced.
