Open Thread, Preseason Game 2: Ottawa Senators @ Buffalo Sabres

Sens take a bit more experienced lineup on a visit to Buffalo.

It's pre-season game 2, and the Sens are in Buffalo with a completely different roster.
It's the preseason and lines may shift drastically during the game, but the Sens will start out with the following (via Sylvain St-Laurent):

Hoffman-Turris-Gagne
Smith-Brassard-Ryan
Dzingel-Kelly-Neil
Puempel-Chlapik-Robinson

Methot-Bartkowski
Phaneuf-Ceci
Carlisle-Erkamps

Hammond
O'Connor

Buffalo will start with this (via Amy Moritz):

Ennis-Girgensons-Okposo
Deslauriers-Grant-Moulson
Baptiste-Catenacci-Cornel
Rodriguez-Dupuy-Fasching

McCabe-Bogosian
Austin-Franson
Bennett-Burgdoerfer

Lehner
Kasdorf

Both teams are expected to have both goalies play. Anderson was scheduled to play tonight, but was replaced by Hammond due to a personal issue.

Game is at 7pm on TSN5 and TSN 1200.
