The Ottawa Senators will play the first game of a home-and-home with the Red Wings with the first game in Detroit tonight. The Senators ended a four-game losing streak with a 5-4 shootout win over the Calgary Flames on Wednesday. The Red Wings lost for the fifth time in six games with Tuesday's 3-1 loss at home to the Carolina Hurricanes.
Ottawa will go with the same lineup except Andrew Hammond starts in net. Here are the lines.
Prince - Turris - Stone
Puempel - Zibanejad - Ryan
Michalek - Pageau - Chiasson
McCormick - Smith - Neil
Methot - Karlsson
Wiercioch - Ceci
Cowen - Borowiecki (*gulps*)
Hammond (starter)
Anderson
Some notes for tonight:
- Aside from when Erik Karlsson was on the ice, the Senators were ripped to pieces against a terrible Flames team.
