Here are your Ottawa Senators headlines heading into tonight's game against the Boston Bruins:

• The big man Filip Kuba returns to the lineup tonight, meaning David Hale drops out. Brian Elliott gets the start. (@NHL_Sens)
• Two optimistic holdouts for tonight's game against the Bruins: Your truly and Ian Mendes. (Citizen)
• The road trip that begins tonight in Boston will be a tough one for the Sens. Toughest of the year, perhaps. (Citizen)
• Pascal Leclaire got a little upset in practice yesterday. And Cory Clouston is fine with that. (Citizen)
• A whole lot of words about the Senators' D-corps. (Citizen)
• It is a little odd that Jason Spezza and Alex Kovalev have found chemistry; they seemed like guys who would compete for the puck, but they're complementing each other well. (Gazette)
