Game 47: Winnipeg Jets @ Ottawa Senators

Winnipeg Jets at Ottawa Senators, Jan 16, 2012 7:30 PM EST




Tonight marks the last game that the Ottawa Senators will play at home (aside from the all-star game) until 3 February. The opponents for the night are the Winnipeg Hockey Jets. The Jets are currently sitting in 10th place with 45 points, which is 11 points behind Ottawa. The Senators could find themselves atop their division with a regulation Bruins loss. If Ottawa wins and the game finishes a few minutes before Boston, a screenshot of the standings must be taken.

Per Ian Mendes, there are no changes to the lineup. Craig Anderson starts again, Brian Lee is the healthy scratch again.



Craig Anderson (starter)

More after the jump.

Star-divide

The Jets lines from Arctic Ice Hockey are:


Things to look out for tonight:

  • Erik Karlsson nears career high: Erik Karlsson needs one more point to match his total from last year.
  • Craig Anderson starts yet again: Is Anderson going to show any sign of fatigue? The Senators have a big game tomorrow in Toronto.
  • Kaspars Daugavins: While Daugavins hit the post in the last game, he hasn't had a point since 5 December. That's 19 games without a point. With Andre Petersson reportedly called up, Daugavins might be a candidate to be a healthy scratch tomorrow in Toronto. Despite all the penalty kills against the Canadiens, Daugavins played only 5:52.
  • Continue Southeast domination: The Senators are 2-0 against the Jets and 8-2-2 against the NHL's worst division. Another win should be there for taking if Ottawa plays to its potential.

There isn’t an injury that I am not aware of is there?

They are going to California though

If someone gets injured, hard to get a replacement. So they need to take an extra forward.

Agreed.

Show fights where fighters go to sleep the night before expecting to have to fight the fighter from the other team the next day…. stupid.

But you absolutely have to stick up for your team mates. You have to. Even if that results in a penalty against.

The problem with these kind of things

Is you always end up with a pk to deal with. So that sucks.

by Amelia L on Jan 16, 2012 8:16 PM EST up reply actions  

I like fights like that one...

Yes, you end up with a PK, but like you mentioned above, it sends the right message to the Matt Cookes and Sean Averys of the league. If you mess with our young star, you get punched in the face.

I would feel a lot differently if Kane were penalized for the original hit. Since he wasn’t, then you HAVE to let him know that type of shit will not be tolerated.

I don’t like that staged fights that are set up before the puck is even dropped, but ones like this fires up a team, AND sends a message, and therefore, I have no problem at all with it.

*grumbles at some historian trying to goad the province of Saskatchewan into buying the medals of Tommy Douglas which are up for auction.

He went to the papers. Now there’ll be bidders against the War Museum. They have policies not to comment if they plan to acquire items at auction or if they’ve been successful (except in cases where it’s rather expected they would comment.)

He’s acting like I was four years ago when Shankland’s VC went up. :p

It makes sense, Toronto is at home relishing a back-to-back with Ottawa, who got shutout by the Jets and are down on themselves.

Pauly Mac fires up the belly, a prepared Sens team outworks the rusty Leafs. Karlsson gets a deuce tomorrow.

Actually, this sounds more like what the Ravens are going to do to the Patriots on Sunday :)

We got outplayed by New York and Montreal, and only won those games because we capitalized on our chances. This game we didn’t have any chances to capitalize.
