GDT: Ottawa Senators at Colorado Snowslides| 9PM EST | TSN5, RDS1, ESPN+ | Must win situation™ - Late Night Edition

[AchtzehnBaby]

Predicted lineups

Lines from yesterday's practice looked much like the lineup from the shitty loss game.

At forward, Shane Pinto was absent again after missing last night’s game. Cole Reinhardt, who was called up from the Belleville Senators prior to last night’s game, remains in the lineup in his place.

Tkachuk – Stützle – Amadio
Giroux – Norris – Batherson
Gregor – Greig – Cousins
Reinhardt – Gaudette – MacEwen

On defence, there were no changes as Artem Zub remains sidelined by an upper body injury, his last game coming on October 14 against the Los Angeles Kings.

Sanderson – Hamonic
Chabot – Jensen
Kleven – Bernard-Docker

Both Anton Forsberg and Linus Ullmark were on the ice participating in the team’s practice.

Ottawa win 3-2z Good trap game for the Av’s. Win tonight and we are back in 2nd place in the division which is where we belong. Come home 2-1 on this road trip and a .500% road win percentage is decent.

Ullmark can’t lose 3 in a row - just can’t happen.

 

[Senscore]

I hope the team is as pissed about the Vegas game as I still am

 

[Sun God Nika]

I am kinda curious what Guadette would look like on RW with Stu and Tkachuk.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Our only hope is if Georgiev sucks, if he even starts.

I'm watching the standings too. We have the big road trip because the world juniors are in town...but we play 8 out of 9 at home in April. Hope they can stay close in the standings and take advantage of those home games.

Appreciate you putting the television providers in the title

Schedule wise the league gave Ottawa a decent early schedule to find their game and gel. But those road trips are probably going to determine if we make the playoffs.

Need a winning road record.

Big bounce back for Ullmark incoming!

I am kinda curious what Guadette would look like on RW with Stu and Tkachuk.

Offensively it would be interesting.

Defensively they would be terrible.

Gaudette can get the job done for a game here and there. Might be some Chemistry there, if Gaudette can play well on the road on the top line it could change his career

 

[BigRig4]

Would like to see Brady have a big game tonight. I find he's been a bit of a passenger so far.

 

[BoardsofCanada]

Offensively it would be interesting.

Defensively they would be terrible.

Tend to agree with this. Gaudette has a big league shot but I don't see much else in his game. I think maybe Perron (when he comes back) might be the guy to play with Brady and Stutzle. Grieg also deserves a shot with them. Grieg's game will continue to improve as the season moves along.
