Roster Notes:
With the NHL Senators back from their Global Series trip to Sweden, defenders Jacob Larsson and Tyler Kleven, forward Matt Highmore and goaltender Mads Sogaard all returned to Belleville last week. However, Highmore and Sogaard were recalled again to Ottawa and are not with the B-Sens for tonight’s game. There’s not much good news on the injury front yet either, with both Cole Reinhardt and Graham McPhee added to the club’s injured list this week. They join Tarun Fizer, Tyler Boucher, Phil Daoust, and Brennan Saulnier. To help fill the void
forward Orrin Centazzo was signed to a PTO from the Toledo Walleye (ECHL) and will play on a line alongside Zack Ostapchuk and Egor Sokolov. Full lineup details will be available prior to the puck drop.
Who to watch:
Senators leading goal-scorer Angus Crookshank continues to be the most consistent offensive threat for the Senators, riding a four-game point streak into tonight (three goals, two assists). Crookshank had a goal, plus eight shots on net in last Saturday’s loss, and has registered at least a point in eight of his last nine games.
The Wolf Pack have three players riding significant point streaks coming into tonight, including AHL leading scorer Jonny Brodzinski and Riley Nash. Brodinski has five goals and seven assists over that span, while Nash has one goal and six assists. Former Laval Rocket standout Alex Belzile is on a five-game point streak (four goals, four assists) for Hartford, while forward Adam Edstrom is also on a three-game goal streak.
