It's a late one in Vancouver tonight and we've got everything you need to know before the puck drops against the Canucks at 10 p.m.

Projected line-up

Just one change is expected for tonight's line-up in Vancouver and that's Logan Brown checking back in for active duty. Brown was a healthy scratch on Saturday in Calgary but D.J. Smith shared that it had more to do with it being the first of two back-to-back series on their current, lengthy 5-game road trip and he's looking out for the younger players experiencing this grind.
As a result of Brown's return, J.C. Beaudin and Mikkel Boedker will be the extra forward tonight while no changes are expected to the defence pairings.

With that, here's a look at the Sens' projected line-up in Vancouver:
Tkachuk - L. Brown - Duclair
Paul - Pageau - C. Brown
Namestnikov - Anisimov - White
Chlapik - Tierney - Ennis
Chabot - Hainsey
Borowiecki - Zaitsev
Brannstrom - DeMelo

In goal

Anders Nilsson (7-6-1) is back between the pipes for the Senators and will face off against his old team tonight. Nilsson was acquired from the Canucks midway through last season and, despite a rough outing on Friday night against the Wild, has been very good for Ottawa and carries a .917 sv% in 2019-20 into tonight's contest.

BoroCop

In the mood for something a little lighter as we press forward to tonight's late start? Well yesterday, Sens defenceman Mark Borowiecki shared that he foiled a robbery while in Vancoucer's Gastown District on Monday and helped to return a stolen backpack to it's rightful owner by dispatching the thief off their bicycle.
Anyways, in honour of our real-life superhero we made this for him:

Previous meeting

It was a track meet the last times these two teams met in Vancouver with the home side earning a 7-4 victory. The Canucks jumped out to a 5-0 lead before the Sens rattled off 4 unanswered, third period goals of their own. Dylan DeMelo led the way offensively with a trio of assists while Anders Nilsson allowed 6 goals on 39 shots in defeat.
