GAME DAY: Ottawa Senators @ Colorado Avalanche | 9:30pm ET | Wed. Jan. 8th, 2014

It's Sens Game Day... return of Cap'n Giggles Edition.

Sens kick off a 3-game Western Road trip that starts in Colorado tonight. Spezza is slated to return to the lineup and PMac looks to be keeping the hot lines together based on what we've seen in practice and what's been said to the press. Hopefully this will translate to a more effective team as players have really stepped up in Spezza's absence, stringing together a 4 game win streak and creating some chemistry during that time. You don't want to mess with that formula. Let's hope Spezza can come in and add to the success.

As confirmed yesterday by PMac, Anderson goes and Chris Neil will not play.

Lines from yesterday, subject to change:

Greening-Spezza-Stone
MacArthur-Turris-Ryan
Conacher-ZBad-Michalek
Kassian-Smith-Condra

Cowen-Karlsson
Phillips-Ceci
Methot-Gryba

Assuming Wiercioch and Corvo sit again.

Get your coffee ready... gonna be a late one tonight...

GO SENS GO!!!

I like that lineup. Need a W here to keep the streak going...if we lose, then PMac will probably shuffle the lines and mix up the two lines that have been playing really well.

I also wouldn't mind seeing Pageau play instead of Kassian, but I have no problem with big Kass in the lineup.

Heard yesterday that O'Reilly and MacKinnon may not play tonight. Has this been confirmed yet?

They are banged up and did no skate, but with the drugs today they could be in the lineup and play like nothing's wrong.

Guenin, O'Reilly and MacKinnon are all listed as questionable for the game tonight. We'll have to see what gets confirmed during the day.

MacKinnon expected to play tonight... O'Reilly day to day...

Gotta pound on that "lower body", then. One of Marc Methot's hipchecks could be just what the doctor ordered.

Make it so.

Who said anything about girls?

The real question is who's our old friend dash going to be cheering for tonight?

Via the Avs Twitter:

"Ryan O'Reilly (shoulder) and Nate Guenin (ankle) will not play tonight vs. Ottawa. Both are still listed day to day."
