Tonight, will be a matchup between two teams hungry for a win, as they both come into the game off shutout losses. The Senators fell 4-0 to the Carolina Hurricanes in Raleigh on Saturday, while the Oilers lost to the Montreal Canadiens last night by a score of 3-0.
It could’ve been a different game for the Senators on Thursday, as forward Tim Stützle scored to tie the score at 1-1 in the second period, but it was waved off immediately. A string of penalties saw the team lose momentum and they were unable to make a comeback.
Tonight is a new game, and the Senators will be motivated to get back into the win column — but so will the Oilers. Facing off against the likes of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl is a challenge on any night, but coming off a shutout loss will see the stars be extra motivated to win.
Following this morning’s skate, head coach Travis Green announced that goaltender Linus Ullmark would get the start in net, while the rest of the lineup would remain the same as it was for Saturday’s game.
