Pre-Game Talk: Senators return from 4 Nations break to face Montreal | Sat Feb 22 2025, 7PM | Sportsnet, TVAS

With both Pinto & Norris out, the concern could be lack of scoring. That’s hardly something that is trivial

It's fine. Timmy's play against the Habs is basically McDavid against us.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

In a perfect world I think they'd like to give Tkachuk tomorrow night off, which would give him 5 days to recharge before they play again on Wednesday, but after looking at the cap situation I don't think they can.

Norris and Pinto are clearly not ready to go, so that leaves the team with 12 forwards - including Tkachuk - and not enough cap space to recall anybody. I guess they could go 11/7 like they did leading into the 4 Nations break.

Can go a game at 11/7. If worse comes to worst, toss Harmonic on the wing for a few shifts.

Ullmark has to win us this game. Last time he put 2 points in the bank for this team was Dec 8 - unsustainable.

Ullmark has to step up tonight.

You think he's Christoph Schubert or something?

Can't be any worse on wing than he is on D this year. A warm body is a warm body.

Montembault

That's when you need to have a Stutzle-Batherson-Chabot-Ullmark step up and put a mark on a game. We don't have time to be struggling, every point will be important.

Joel Armia too

Someone told me they saw Guhle on crutches the other day so still injured

 

[Larionov]

Laine

Has Laine moved yet? Last I saw him he was still standing in that same spot at the top of the circle, looking for someone to pass him the puck...

Any updated news on whether Brady and Sanderson are playing?

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Sens are gonna be in very very tough especially with Brady a little hurt and no centers

Sandy only played 2 games he should be fine. Brady of course is playing, he knows the importance of these 2 points and he has a burning desire to make tje playoffs - he couldn’t forgive himself if they fell 1 point short and he skipped a game. Might only be PP and some shifts here and there but both will play
