One small change up front as Sens head coach Guy Boucher confirmed that he'll be reverting back to the traditional 12 forwards and 6 defencemen deployment tonight against the Sabres.
Nick Paul, who was recalled from Belleville this morning, is expected to make his season debut tonight after being a healthy scratch in his other NHL stints this year. Paul has recorded 6 points in 6 games in Belleville this season and has 36 NHL games under his belt over the past 3 years.
"He's been the best player down there since the beginning so he deserves to be here," said head coach Guy Boucher. "He was hurt the last time we called up somebody now he's fine so we called him back up."
Still no update on the future of Alex Formenton who is set to play his 9th NHL game of the season tonight. Formenton is fresh off his first career NHL goal on Tuesday night after deflecting Chris Wideman's point shot for the Sens lone tally of the night.
