GAME DAY: Red Wings @ Sens - Tuesday, Nov 4, 7:30pm (TSN5)

No return of The Alfie, but this will still be a tough matchup for the Senators. The Wings are 5-2-3 and the Sens are 5-3-2. This is a very important divisional matchup. Ottawa has lost 2 straight, and the Wings are coming off a shootout loss to Buffalo.

Jimmy Howard will start for the Wings, and I'm assuming Anderson starts for the home team.

That shootout loss to Buffalo is scary... Wings are going to be very focused tonight and want to shake off that embarrassing performance. All hands on deck tonight, the Sens don't bring their A game and it's going to be a long night at the office.

Karlsson will hopefully rebound from a couple sub-par efforts. His last game was one of his worst I can remember.

Karlsson's last game was just awful. He couldn't play that poorly again if he tried to.

Easy win

Red Wings blow. One line team.

It's been trending towards this kind of performance since the drop of the puck for Game 1. Has he really played a good game at any point in the season so far?

"Probably not."

For the most part that's true, but it's a really good line. Also, Howard has been really good, and their D has been pretty solid.

I have Howard and Anderson going tonight so I get the W . It's all about fantasy eh NEELY

Unless one or both of them get yanked and the replacement gets the W.

Big game.

If we're going to make the playoffs, these are the games we need to win.

Huge game.

Lines remain the same:

MacArthur Turris Ryan
Michalek Zibanejad Chiasson
Hoffman Lazar Stone
Smith Legwand Neil

Phillips Karlsson
Cowen Ceci
Wiercioch Gryba

No Borowiecki or Methot at practice still.

Is it any surprise we haven't won since BoroCop went down with injury?
