Game 21 Preview: Ottawa Senators @ Philadelphia Flyers
A preview of the game between the Ottawa Senators and Philadelphia Flyers on 19 November 2013.
The Senators are in Philly looking for revenge after last week's disaster, and are also looking to bounce back from Sunday's game.
Robin Lehner gets the start today. Â No other lineup changes.
MacArthur - Turris - Ryan
Michalek - Spezza - Conacher
Greening - Smith - Neil
Condra - Grant - Zibanejad
Methot - Karlsson
Phillips - Borowiecki
Cowen - Gryba
Anderson (starter)
Lehner
Some notes for tonight:
- Please do better against Philly this week than last week. Â Please.
- Whoops, back to last place for shots against per game. Â Minnesota has a low shots for per game so that might come back down - but then, the same could have been said for Philly.
- Kyle Turris is pointless in 3 games now, and has fallen behind on his point per game pace.
- Robin Lehner could take the NHL lead SV% tonight, but only if Scrivens lets a few in against Tampa.
- Despite all the negativity lately, the Sens are still firmly on the playoff bubble.
- Sens actually outshot someone again! Â Let's make that 2 games in a row./
