GDT: Dallas Stars at Ottawa Senators - 5PM - TSN5 / RDS2 - To Win or Not Two Wins - Cowboy Cookout at the Okay Corel Centre

[AchtzehnBaby]

Let's win for Giroux - 2 goals for G - yesterday's performer of the game

The Senators did not hold a morning skate after a 5-0 win against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday.

STARS (27-13-1) at SENATORS (20-18-3)

Ottawa will be carrying momentum into tomorrow’s game following today’s dominant 5-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Tim Stützle, Drake Batherson, and Tyler Kleven all scored for the Senators alongside Shane Pinto, who had two goals. Goaltender Leevi Merilainen recorded his first career NHL shutout to help secure the Senators’ win.

The Senators split their 2023-24 season series with the Stars 1-1 and will be looking for the same outcome tomorrow.

The decision to start Leevi Merilainen in net at Pittsburgh means Anton Forsberg will likely return to the crease against the Stars.

But who knows? Merilainen made 30 stops for his first NHL shutout and maybe they give him another chance in this one.

Forsberg has a 1-2-2 record against Dallas in five career appearances with an .889 save percentage and a 2.94 goals-against average.

Senators projected lineup

Brady Tkachuk — Josh Norris — Drake Batherson
Claude Giroux — Tim Stutzle — Adam Gaudette
Nick Cousins — Shane Pinto — Ridly Greig
Cole Reinhardt — Zack Ostapchuk — Zack MacEwen

Jake Sanderson — Artem Zub
Thomas Chabot — Nick Jensen
Tyler Kleven — Nikolas Matinpalo

Anton Forsberg
Leevi Merilainen

Do we know what Reinhardt's status is? Can he play today?

 

[SanderSen]

Another out of town back to back. This last month has been a mess of a schedule.

 

[Relapsing]

Would love to see a continuation of last nights play - get off to a good start, and carry that momentum through the game

Reinhart out - prolly concussion

 

[SpezDispenser]

I read it and didn't believe it. Some dude heard on the radio that Green said he might start! Ok...

 

[JD1]

I gather Anton knows his NHL career is slipping away

 

[Relapsing]

How are there so many Dallas fans in town? Wtf

 

[DrEasy]

NGL, this Dallas team is scary. Their top 9 is stacked, and their D is great. Even one point would be great tonight.

 

[PatrickEaves]

Reinhart out - prolly concussion

Damn, that would be a big loss if his name was Sam.

 

[Senscore]

I gather Anton knows his NHL career is slipping away

He's been here longer than he should have been.


Most guys don't get that.

 

[The Waffler]

I’m thinking a nice and easy win tonight GSG
