The Sharks will make multiple changes to the defensive group they used in a 5-4 overtime victory against the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday. Paul Martin (ankle) was sent to San Jose of the American Hockey League on a conditioning assignment after struggling in his first game since Oct. 7. Brenden Dillon, who served a one-game suspension Thursday, will return to the lineup, as will Tim Heed, who missed five games with an upper-body injury.
Senators goaltender Craig Anderson will make his 20th start of the season and try to end his six-game losing streak. The Senators are 1-8-2 in their past 11 games and are coming off a 4-3 overtime loss at the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday after being shut out in back-to-back games. Ottawa has won its past three games at San Jose.
