Fatigue seemed to catch up with Anders Nilsson and for a change Ottawa’s goaltending begat the loss on Friday night against the New York Islanders whom the Senators actually hung around with in terms of shot attempt-volume. The action resumes on Sunday with a matchup that presents something of a quandary for Team Tank.
The lines at Saturday’s practice looked something like this:
Tkachuk-LoBro-Duclair
Paul-Pageau-CoBro
Chabot-Zaitsev
Brannstrom-Hainsey
Goloubef (Extra)
Anderson (Start)
Nilsson
The San Jose Sharks should have a chip on their shoulder following a loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs that saw pretty much nothing go right for the team in teal.
