GDT: Sens @ Stars - Tuesday, Jan 13th, 8:30pm, TSN5/RDS

Sens vs Stars tonight at 8:30. It'll be The Lehner against Kari Lehtonen (likely). There's this guy named Spezza on the Stars that allegedly used to play for the visiting team...Chiasson against his former team too. The Stars have given up a ton of goals this year, but are also capable of scoring in buches. It could be a bit of a run and gun game tonight, which probably means that this will be 0-0 through 14 shootout rounds.

31 goals in their last 8 games yet the Stars are only 4-2-2. Take the over.

If the Sens win, they have 5 of 8 on the road trip, which is the pace they need to play at to make the playoffs. If they lose, it is 3 of 8 and a tough start to the 2nd half where they need to go 24-12-5 to have a realistic chance of making the playoffs.

Yeah, this game is pretty important. We gotta take these ones against the weaker teams.

The Sens are closer to a top 4 pick than a wild card spot. 8 points out with low ROW total, accept the fact the season ends after 82 games and pray we don't wind up pulling a Leafs run to finish 9th.

Hoffman - ZBad - Ryan
MacArthur - Turris - Chiasson
Michalek - Legwand - Stone
Condra - Pageau - Lazar

Greening and Smith extra.

Diddle that third line in the ear.

Pageau, Lazar/Condra and Stone or some variation of that should be the third line and they should get third line minutes.

Michalek scored on the last game. Maybe he gets a chance to warm up. Maybe that third line is really just the fourth line anyways.

Yet they could be the most productive line of the night.

Problem with that is they don't play just losing teams the rest of the way.

Just switch the lines -- that's the 4th line, even though Stone is on it. I think they want him to earn his spot back. Chiasson isn't exactly lighting it up either but against his former team he might have a little more jump.

Seguin, Benn and Fiddler were question marks for tonight just yesterday. Chances are even if they play they aren't 100%.
