Without a playoff position in hand, the Ottawa Senators will be eager to put one of their games in hand on Boston to good use and hope to (at least) keep pace with Toronto tonight when they visit the St. Louis Blues.
The only change to the lineup is on the bench, with Matt O'Connor being sent back down (presumably to get some playing time) and Chris Dreidger taking his place riding the pine for the big club.
Today's skate was optional, but we're told no changes so here are the lines and pairings from Saturday:
Smith - Brassard - Stone
Dzingel - Turris - Ryan
Hoffman - Pageau - Pyatt
Kelly - Lazar - Neil
Methot - Karlsson
Phaneuf - Ceci
Borowiecki - Wideman
Condon (starter)
Dreidger
Some notes for tonight:
- Bobby Ryan seem to have pretty good games against St.
