The Senators host the surging Rangers in Saturday matinee

The Ottawa Senators face-off against the New York Rangers, featuring former Senator Mika Zibanejad, for an early 1:00 PM start at the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa, Ontario.

3-1-1. TSN 5. 2-2-0. 91. Rangers -145. 95. Saturday, October 23. 1 PM ET

It appears the Senators will be without their blossoming number two centre Shane Pinto for at least the next 5 games, after a scary fall in the team’s last game.

Thankfully, the injury doesn’t appear to be anything serious and something that will keep Pinto out long term, but it’s smart to be patient and err on the side of caution.

There were some changes in the lines due to Pinto’s absence, now we get to see Nick Paul at centre, a position where many believe he can thrive.
