The team was on the ice for practice today and lined up the same way as they did against the Sabres with one small change.
Jesse Winchester is the latest player to join the long list of guys that have suffered a concussion this season. He was run from behind by Paul Gaustad last night on a play Sens head coach Paul MacLean called dangerous. Still no sign of supplementary discipline related to the incident.
With Winchester sidelined, the Sens will have to shuffle the line up a little bit tomorrow night. The injury to Winchester means that Bobby Butler will likely draw back into the line up.
Milan Michalek practiced with the team and is closing in on a return. Michalek was wearing a no-contact sweater at practice but it’s clear he’s getting close. It sounds like the Sens leading goal scorer has been all but ruled out for tomorrow night but there is a chance he plays on Friday.
MacLean made it clear that the decision rests with Michalek at this point. Craig Anderson will start in goal tomorrow.
The team announced today that there are less than 6,500 tickets remaining for the team's next seven home games. With Christmas just around the corner, I can't think of a better gift for Sens fans of all ages.

With the NHL All Star Game now just a little over a month away, preparations are already underway for what will be an amazing event here in Ottawa.
The Energizer Night Skate at NHL All-Star will be held on the Rideau Canal on January 27. This unique event will raise funds for the Sens Foundation and their work build outdoor rinks in the region. All participants will be given toques and head lamps to wear which should make for an amazing visual.
Cost of registration is $20 per person or $15 for kids aged 12 and under. For more information on how you can get involved, visit this link or to sign up go here.
Hopefully the weather can cooperate and freeze the canal in time for the skate.
Glad to hear Michalek is close to a return.
Lastly... this has been talked about before, but this is Butler's chance to claim a spot. With Winchester out for an undetermined time... Butler HAS to start producing.
Can't wait for tomorrow's game... Turris' first goal!!
GO SENS GO!
Not only is it cheap to register and not only are funds going to a great cause... but should you raise money through pledges, you can get some pretty amazing gifts!!
See you all on the canal!
I wish TSN was a person, so I could kick it in the shins, or play Roshambo with (see http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=roshambo)
F*CK you TSN. I hope Sportsnet sleeps with your wife.

Chirp you are right, tickets make the ultimate Christmas gift. We already did our mini-Ottawa Christmas before heading out of town for the holidays and were lucky enough to have a couple pairs stuffed into the Christmas stockings.
Frigging disappointing, not sure what the hell a player needs to do against the Sens to get suspended. I would feel better even knowing that idiot Shanny at least *called* Gaustad to discuss the hit...
Funniest post on this blog ever.
Still, they're heavily skewed by goal differential, and give extra credit for 'blow out wins'. The couple games in which the Sens got blown out don't help them - despite having a better record than some teams, we've been scored on more than anyone and have won some close ones.
Also, injuries are a big factor and the fact that our top goal scorer is out skews things further.
Normally things like goal differential and ability to win big are pretty good indicators of where a team is at, but I'm not so sure those stats accurately describe this year's version of the Senators.
How in the hell can Montreal be put higher in the Power Rankings when they are behind the Sens in the standings? That makes no sense.
Sens get no love from Toronto-centric media.
i posted it in the blog before this. zibanejad got an assist . apparently the game announcer was being like pierre mcguire is to crosby or dion phaneuf. called zibanejad a beast out there. sweden won the game 8-0 but zibanejad played the wing this game but apparently had some shifts at center too. Claesson had a goal. best player of the game was filip forsberg
1-0 Forsberg. Assist Collberg.
2-0 Friberg. Assist Karlsson.
3-0 Karlsson. Assists Friberg and Backman.
4-0 Claesson. Assist Rensfeldt.
5-0 Aberg. Assists Zibanejad and Backman.
6-0 Nordstrom. Assists Forsberg and Collberg.
7-0 Nordstrom. Assists Sundstrom and Rensfeldt.
8-0 Sundstrom. Assists Rask and Backman
has to be one of the WORST sports writers around

Runwho?
Of course not, everyone in the league knows that you can hurt Senators with indemnity. Shanahan is a joke. To date, all that has happened is one measly $2500 fine. Hurting Sens is allowed in the NHL.
One day after singer Michael Buble skated with the Vancouver Canucks, Justin Bieber took the ice with the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday.
The 17-year-old Canadian pop star skated with Dion Phaneuf, Jake Gardiner, Tyler Bozak and goaltender Jonas Gustavsson at Air Canada Centre before taping his Christmas special at Massey Hall.
Unlike Buble, who wore full equipment while skating with the Canucks at Rogers Arena, Bieber wore a knit hat and Leafs warmups as he skated and took shots on Gustavsson -- on one, he was snuffed out on a backhander after a deke.
Canucks can have the Boob and Leafs can have the Bieb.
Sens will go with Five Man Electrical Band, Alanis, Tom Green, Dan Akroyd, Hilotrons or My dad vs. Yours. Any other suggestions ?
I don't really buy that, our Goal Diff. is at -11, which puts us in at 23rd. That's not great but it's not dead last either. We've also only been "blown out" 2-3 games this year out of 33.
TSN never gets the Sens their due diligence so I don't really care but we should be ranked higher than 23rd, especially with the way our stars have been playing. We rank 29th in GA mostly cause we had a rough go at the start of the season. Keep in mind we are 7th now for GF....It's starting to balance out...
Maybe Paul Anka has some free time between KIA commercials.
Why do I love it? 'cause I like watching them looking like idiots night after night, and I always liked cheering for underdogs ;)
Come on Bobby!!! get your show on the road!!!
Only power ranking that counts:
Toronto - 7th in the East, 16th overall (and falling)
Ottawa - 8th in the East, 17th overall
Montreal - 12th in the East, 24th overall
Peluso: that was some funny stuff!
We must have worn out Tookie yesterday, as he is nowhere to be found so far today !!
GO SENS GO !!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah but dont tell Alcatraz, he doesnt care about anything non Sens...
Poor guy is missing out on alot!
What I would do to get Giroux in a Sens Uni!...
You jinxed it...
Tookie, you are like Master Card....
PRICELESS !!
Do you have any credible sources that say they were?
Who cares about what the Laffs say or don't say? The only important thing is that they book their tee times for the second week of April when the Sens are still playing hockey!
You know what's great about Giroux, he wasn't a first or second overall pick, he was drafted 22nd overall ;) I guess it was only because of his size though. Same goes for Eberle. If those two drafts were done all over again both those guys would go in the top five. What steals they were for Philly and Edmonton.
Yeah its too bad, they need all the help they can get.
Yeah size has always been a factor, much less now than it was before.
CHL players have always had a hard time breaking into the US clique of their National Team Development Program. Only 7 players on their WJC squad are from CHL teams.
Its becoming a trend now, I think the Czechs are also doing that, avoiding players that are not signed/playing in their own Czech league.
