After Thursday’s shutout loss, the Ottawa Senators will again look for a way to manufacture some offence in the abcence of some of their top forwards. The team has played admirably enough despite the injuries but this lineup can only do so much when the opposition successfully shuts down their top line:

Tkachuk - Stützle - Gaudette
Formenton - Paul - Brown
Sanford - Gambrell - Watson
Tierney - Kastelic - Ennis

Chabot - Zaitsev
Holden - Zub
Brännström - Brown

Meanwhile, the Boston Bruins rolled out this lineup in their most recent game (a shutout loss of their own on Thursday night):

Hall - Haula - Pastrnak
DeBrusk - Coyle - Smith
Frederic - Studnicka - Foligno
Blidh - Nosek - Lazar

Grzelcyk - McAvoy
Reilly - Carlo
Forbort - CLifton

Game Notes

• Reading the comments section after that 6-0 loss to Carolina, you would have a hard time knowing that the Bruins sit comfortably in the playoff picture, on pace for about 100 points in the standings.
