Roster Notes:
Belleville defenceman Max Guenette was recalled to Ottawa on an emergency basis and dressed for the NHL Senators in their game against Anaheim last night, but that’s been the only transaction since earlier in the week. Full lineup details, including tonight’s alignment, will be available prior to puck drop.
Who to Watch:
Sens forward Rourke Chartier was pivotal in Belleville’s win over Syracuse earlier this weekend, scoring twice and adding an assist. Fellow recent NHL returnee Zack MacEwen had a pair of goals for himself on Saturday as well and has scored four times in five games for Belleville this season. Power forward Jiri Smejkal is on a three game point streak (three goals, two assists) coming into tonight’s game, while four Senators have points in back-to-back games including Dillon Heatherington, Angus Crookshank, Garrett Pilon, and rookie Oskar Pettersson.
Since the Marlies have recorded back-to-back losses, there are no Toronto players on significant point streaks coming into tonight’s contest. However, Ryan Tverberg (four goals, two assists), and Kieffer Bellows (two goals, four assists) have been standouts for the Marlies in the season series, each recording six points in five games against Belleville this season.
