The Ottawa Senators will start Matt O'Connor in goal tonight for the home opener against the Montréal Canadiens. O'Connor's NHL debut seems to have come early than expected.
Dave Cameron confirmed today that in order to rest Craig Anderson after the large workload he dealt with last night against the Leafs, the Senators' rookie goaltender will see his first regular season action.

The Canadiens will be going with their backup as well, as Mike Condon also gets his first career NHL start.
