PrintNashville Predators at Ottawa Senators, Feb 9, 2012 7:30 PM EST
The Ottawa Senators will try once more to snap their losing streak, which is currently sitting at seven games. Tonight, the opponents will be Mike Fisher and the Nashville Predators. That's not the only big event tonight though, as the game will also be the 1000th of Chris Phillips' career. Brian Lee and Bobby Butler will return to the lineup in the place of Zenon Konopka and Matt Carkner. Lastly, Alex Auld will start. (!!!)
Here are the lines from Nicolas St-Pierre:
Milan Michalek - Jason Spezza - Bobby Butler
Colin Greening - Kyle Turris - Daniel Alfredsson
Kaspars Daugavins - Zack Smith - Erik Condra
Nick Foligno - Jim O'Brien - Chris Neil
Filip Kuba - Erik Karlsson
Jared Cowen - Sergei Gonchar
Chris Phillips - Brian Lee
Alex Auld (starter)
Craig Anderson
Here is what I will be looking out for tonight:
- Chris Phillips: A big night for Phillips in his 1000th career game. He hasn't had a good season, being relegated to the bottom pairing, but he had an improved effort last time out. Can he keep it up tonight?
- Mike Fisher returns: Mike Fisher will play his first game back in Ottawa since being traded. He'll get a nice ovation, but hopefully he struggles after that for Ottawa's sake.
- Alex Auld starts: Alex Auld will make his first start since late December. He played most of the last game and allowed only one goal. Another game like that would help the Senators get a victory.
- Chris Neil needs to improve: He was brutal against St. Louis, with the Senators being outchanced 8-1 while Neil was on the ice and the Senators outchancing St. Louis 18-5 with Neil off the ice. He surely can't do any worse tonight.

Nice to see O’Brien still up with the big club. Hopefully Butler can get it going, tough team to try to get back on track against though. Go Sens!!

Foligno
On the fourth line – with Chris Neal. It should make him tougher – but I dont think he needs to work on that part of his game so much. We need him to take it up a notch by putting the puck in the net more often. I am not sure how to make sense of this move.
I think it's just Paulrus changing the vibe
New goalie, new lines, new start.
It may also have to do with matchups. That third line is a very defensive line tonight.
He was once called the worst participant Cirque du Soleil ever had.

Yeah, I'd be surprised if those lines last all game
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
yeah - I hope so
Foligno has hardly been the problem with this team. Imagine him sliding to the 4th line and seeing the healthy scratch Butler land on the 1st to bump him down. I’m sure he’s a mature guy but it would be on my mind if I was him.
My trigger finger's getting itchy.
I want to let that horn ride tonight. Many, many times.

Fisher and Phillips are pretty big …. I guess ….
I’m still sad that we don’t get to see Geoffrion. His grandpappy would have been 81 years old this week, and his great-grandpappy died 75 years years ago. Did anyone happen to catch any tributes to Morenz at eh ASG weekend?

Fisher vs. Downie is like the Angel Gabriel vs. the Devil. A little bit of Jesus in every one of Fisher’s right hooks.
Boy, it sure was great having a 2nd line centre who liked to knuckle-dust a bit.

Ron MacLean a Sens fan?
Was listening to HNIC Radio this afternoon and Gord Stellick says to Ron MacLean, “Your Ottawa Senators…” To which Ron waxed philosophical about his thoughts on the Sens turning point in the recent slide. Sounded like he coulda been an S7S poster!
He's been picking them all year as his surprise team
And he’s been nursing it to make sure everyone know it… as long as the Sens make the playoffs.

I sure didn’t. I thought he’d maybe be a good fourth-liner, and he’s been alright. All he’s got to do is not let the other team score, and maybe hold onto the puck in the offensive zone. He does that alright.

Chris Phillips: Scores goals more often than Scott Gomez

Look out Cam Ward, Phillips is coming for you next!

So where was that bar in Montreal that was giving out free drinks if Gomez scores?
Cause he finally did.
Up north, in Laval or the Laurentians or something.

Come on Michalek - save your job...
If Chris Phillips can do it – and in someone elses net at that…..
Super Congrats to Phillips.
Anyone else here have the feeling Michalek could be moved? I mean, they could all be moved at this point, but, he would be tempting to dangle. Personally, I hope we keep him – and resign Kuba. If we can get a reasonable contract out of him – without the no trade – he could be an effective part of our rebuild.
But Michalek – would make it easier for us to acquire someone with a better pedigree.
Yes
I am still a little slow with the blog thing…and usually wrong. But, everyone here is so generous, graceful and forgiving
Hi Darren!
I love soft players (especially Europeans) that play on the perimeter. Enigmas are awesome. Grit and heart-and-soul are red flags.
Erik Karlsson is better than your favourite player.

I'm not happy he's fired
But I am happy I won’t have to listen to him anymore
Maybe for this?

Not a TGOR guy, but there were some very strong dislike of Jerome.

Cowen has not looked great for a bit now
wish we had someone better we could slide in to let him watch for a while. If BMurr does anything, it should be that.
If only we had another young defenceman!

his last (maybe 2nd last) shift was lame
Preds got lots of options, he lost the puck a couple of times. it’s in our end he looks outmatched.
If he gets another goal
It will bring into Mark’s hat throwing proposition on Chris Phillips night into play.

first 5 mins of this period looked like the last 7 games (minus Boston)
but otherwise, they’ve looked good this game. And except for the first 2 PPs – those were totally forgettable.
Maybe Butler really is one of those guys who only excels with the top line.
It could have been true of Filatov but…. er…. let`s kill that there.

Last two-goal game for Phillips
More recent than I expected: Nov 19, 2009, in a 6-2 victory over PIT.
He also had two-goal games in 1998 and 2001.
No.
Team record for goals by defenceman is 3. Sami Salo, March 30 1999

And Toronto lost
Washington lost in OT, but Florida won.
Caps blew 2-0 lead late too.

Interesting take.
The league was super-quick to plan next year’s Winter Classic because they are trying to send a signal that they are anticipating no long work stoppage.
In other words, expect to see the Leafs@Wings in 2019, like the ASG in Ottawa in 2012
