Ottawa will be looking for more of the same against high-flying Oilers.
While Edmonton has cooled off as of late, they have to be considered the leagues most surprising team in the first quarter of the season. They come in with a 9-6-2 record but have dropped their last three contests.
The Oilers have been getting phenomenal goaltending from Nikolai Khabibulin and have allowed just 2.12 goals against per game. Up front, the Oilers have been buoyed by a blistering start from a rejuvenated Ryan Smyth. He’s posted an impressive ten goals and 17 points through 17 games.
Expect him to be parked in front of Craig Anderson all night long.
Ottawa won't make any changes to the line up that won in Calgary on Tuesday although I wouldn't be surprised to see Bobby Butler creep his way up the depth chart if the Sens struggle offensively. David Rundblad is a healthy scratch.
Here is how the Sens lined up at the morning skate...
Greening-Spezza-Michalek
Foligno-DaCosta-Alfredsson
Daugavins-Smith-Condra
Konopka-Winchester-Butler
Kuba-Karlsson
Phillips-Gonchar
Cowen-Lee
Another late start tonight as puck drop is scheduled for just after 9:30 PM. The game is available on SportsnetSens and TVA or on the radio at Team1200. Keep an eye on the comment section for a stream closer to game time.
____________________________________________________________
Because we have a late start today and I fear we may have said all there is to say on Filatov, let me see if I can steer the game day discussion a little bit. In addition to the usual game day chatter, I thought we could do a little bit of Twentieth Anniversary Reflection.
Take your best shot at one or all of the questions below!
In the 20 year history of the Ottawa Senators...
- Most underrated Senator of all-time?
- Most overrated?
- Most heart?
- Toughest?
- Most entertaining?
- All-time favourite Senator?
- Most painful Sens memory?
- Best Senators memory?
Glad you suggested other items for discussons, as we have surely exhausted talk on Filatov.
Most overated would be Alexandre Daigle who was promoted too much by the Sens Organiztion.
He started with huge expectations, and we all know what happened. Sens must share some of the blame, on his failure to shine with the team !

Painful Memory was when we scored on ourselves in the playoffs in Ray Emery's skates.

Most painful Sens memory?
Game 7 conference finals against the Devils. Broke my heart. Also almost losing our team was devastating. Lost a lot of sleep during that crisis.

Best Senators memory- Alfie crushing tucker into the boards
Definitely agree with you. I think most people don't remember him but he was a great defensive forward. I loved that player just too bad the Sens didn't resign him.
U read my mind about chara
Butler should continue to get chances and break out, and Spezza to return to the scoresheet.
Not many people talking about it, but Foligno has been on a nice stretch with 5 goals and 8 points in the last 10 games. This might finally be his 40+point season.
Overrated: Kovalev
Heart: Alfredson
Toughest: Neil hands down
Entertaining: The goalie race during the intermission

Toughest? Chara. Just ask McCabe
Most entertaining? Havlat
All-time favourite Senator? Alfie
Most painful Sens memory? Getting swept by the leafs in the first round
Best Senators memory? Reaching the cup finals. Also when Alfie hit Tucker then scored the OT winner. One that makes you laugh: When Alfie faked throwing his broken stick into the stands to make fun of Sundin
Most overrated? Daigle
Most heart? Alfie
Toughest? Neil
Most entertaining? Havlat
All-time favourite Senator? Alfie
Most painful Sens memory? Lack of effort in SCF
Best Senators memory? Philips takes a 2 min minor penalty. On his way out of the box, he gets a break-away pass and scores a sick goal. I'll always remember this memory because my friends and I were ragging on how Philips during the night on how he NEVER scores goals.
Most overrated? Has to be Daigle

•Most painful Sens memory? ugh..that damn spartan @ SCF
•Best Senators memory? Emery Vs Biron Goalie fight!!!
It wasnt during the Cup run, the Cup run was clips from 300. (which I thought was great!)
"This is where we FIGHT!"
"This is where they.....DIE!"
um...im almost 100% sure it was during the Cup run. Either way, it was a terrible, terrible memory. I hope i get hit on the head and never remember it.
Yup, he is.
Pretty sure it was the year after the cup run.
Devan Dubnyk is expected to start in net against the Senators. He has played six games to Nikolai Khabibulin’s 11 this season. Khabibulin gave up eight goals in his last two starts (Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks), but he still has a 1.52 goals-against average and .945 save percentage.
I just looked it up. You're correct, my mistake.
Hmm, everything on Twitter says Khabibulin. First one off the ice this morning. Think he's getting the nod.
please tell me there is something in the works for a trade.
Carkner I am sure is ready to return giving us 2 healthy d-men sitting, and an abundance of 3-4th line players, especially once Regin is back.
In addition BM asking Filatov to wait till the end of the month, and Carkner maybe doing a conditioning stint, would this be to buy a little time to make a trade?
Any word from the inside?
Scratch that, that was from 2 days ago...Khabibuli n gets the nod.
You got me on that one Chirp...should have never doubted you lol
Most overrated? Alexandre Daigle

All-time favourite Senator? Alfie
Most painful Sens memory? Pominville OT goal 2006
Best Senators memory? Alfie OT goal 2007
I threw my BBQ off my balcony when they scored the game winner.
Was he not a top 5 pick that scored like 70 goals in the IHL?
I thought that he never really reached the potential that we thought he would get to.
But perhaps some feel that he was not fully appreciated
Again just asking?

He would definitely solve our 2nd line centre problem. There's no way they move him though.
Tried many times to locate TVA Sports, and never found it

Go Sens Go, a win in Vancouver would prove a lot.
That's what you call a wn, win, win scenario.
Bonus: Although Boston won, Sens' win pops them over Boston in the standings and knocks them out of top 8.
