Ottawa Senators Notes

Head Coach DJ Smith said that there would be a few lineup changes but did not specify further.

DJ Smith confirmed that a few players are “banged up”.

This will be the fourth and final matchup this season between both teams. Ottawa currently leads this season series 2-1.

Drake Batherson scored the game-winner last night, upping his season total to 21.

As Dylan Ferguson started last night, it can be assumed that Mads Sogaard will get the nod in net, however, it has not been confirmed as of yet.
