With a plethora of injuries plaguing the Senators lineup they will have a big challenge keeping the Sabres goal scorers at bay.
The Senators currently have four of their main defencemen injured going into tonights game. Nikita Zaitsev, Ron Hainsey, Christian Wolanin and Dylan Demelo will all not be suiting up to play this game.
Chrisitan Wolanin’s injury happened before the season even began when he tore his labrum in his shoulder. He will likely miss another month or two more, unless he can pull a Pageau and come back two months early.
All of these injuries mean that the Senators blueline is virtually an AHL blueline except for Thomas Chabot and Mark Borowiecki.
