Mike Condon will start in goal and Andreas Englund will make his NHL debut for the Ottawa Senators on Saturday against the Florida Panthers.
Buddy Robinson also will step into the lineup, perhaps spending time on a line with Kyle Turris and Ryan Dzingel.
Condon, who lost 3-2 in overtime to the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday, is subbing for No. 1 netminder Craig Anderson, who remains away from the team while his wife, Nicholle, undergoes treatment for her throat cancer.
Englund, meanwhile, the no-nonsense defender who was drafted by the Senators 40thoverall in the 2014 NHL entry draft, enters the lineup because of injuries to fellow defencemen Marc Methot and Fredrik Claesson.
