------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quick hits for your gameday blog!
Tonight will be the first of 3 games in 4 nights for the Senators, as Matt Murray won't even dress tonight, so Ottawa has called up Filip Gustavsson to back up Anton Forsberg. Not the news Sens fans want on a day with positive vibes on Tkachuk signing.
Leadership group wearing an "A" are Thomas Chabot, Nick Paul, Connor Brown and yes.....Nikita Zaitsev. I didn't see the last one coming! Thoughts Sens fans?!
Let's hope for a full building tonight, regardless if it's a split fan base in the building! One thing I don't want to see is a listless 2nd period, it happened too many times last year. Ottawa needs to jump on Toronto early and often tonight. Montreal outhit Toronto last night 32-14.
Sens game day morning skate lines:
Stützle- Norris- Batherson Paul- Pinto- Brown Formenton- Tierney- Ennis Sanford- Shaw- Kelly
Chabot- Zub Mete- Zaitsev Holden- JBrown
Thoughts Sens fans on the line up tonight?! Quick prediction tonight Ottawa 4-2 over Toronto! I will be posting a post game blog after the game.
Thanks for reading. Kevin
