GAME DAY: Senators @ Red Wings - Monday, November 24, 7:30PM (TSN5, RDS)

Sens kick off a lengthy road trip in the Motor City tonight. We play St. Louis tomorrow, and then Florida and Tampa on Friday/Saturday respectively.

I'm guessing it'll be Anderson vs Howard in goal.

Will tonight be the night Alfie officially pulls the plug? Hard to say, but rumours are swirling he'll do some sort of something with Ottawa for retirement.

Methot has got to be close to returning. He took line rushes with Karlsson at practice yesterday, with BoroCop seeming to be the target to be healthy-scratched. It sounds like Phillips and Lazar are still out with injury. If Lazar is still out, I don't mind seeing Greening in the lineup again. I thought his game on Saturday vs the Blues was pretty solid.

Tonight, tomorrow night and two other nights this week!

Sounds like Datsyuk is a no-go for the Wings tonight. Good news.

So I guess #ReleaseTheMika. The Persian Prince of Hockey can go back to scoring goals and not worry about checking the snot out of Datsyuk.

Methot the extra in practice. Phillips not skating.

Zibajenad on Legwand's wing; Ryan on the other side.

It is. We won't have to hear how great he (supposedly) is all game long.

I expect this line to dominate. Could be a dozen goals from that line alone tonight.

And Zibanejad will still get zero points.

Lazar will play tonight, so the lines are:

MacArthur - Turris - Chiasson
ZBad - Legwand - Ryan
Hoffman - Lazar - Stone
Michalek - Smith - Neil

BoroCop - Karlsson
Cowen - Ceci
Wiercioch - Gryba

Anderson

Coach PMacdaddy confirms Anderson will start.

Interesting choice. Nice to see The Gregger finally get a shot.

Anderson

I can live with that line-up.
in all honesty i'd prefer if they put zib at the center position and have legwand wing it. suits his development better and that's what i feel this year is, a development year.

No excuses. Need a big effort.
