OTTAWA -- Here are the Ottawa Senators' projected lines for Game 3 against the New York Rangers on Monday night at Scotiabank Place:
Milan Michalek - Jason Spezza - Jesse Winchester
Nick Foligno - Kyle Turris - Daniel Alfredsson
Colin Greening - Zack Smith - Chris Neil
Zenon Konopka - Jim O'Brien - Erik Condra
Filip Kuba - Erik Karlsson
Jared Cowen - Sergei Gonchar
Chris Phillips - Matt Gilroy
Craig Anderson
Ben Bishop
Kaspars Daugavins, Rob Klinkhammer and Bobby Butler are the healthy scratches. Matt Carkner will serve a one-game suspension for his incident involving Brian Boyle during Game 2. Daniel Alfredsson (concussion) is a game-time decision. Coach Paul MacLean said the captain has taken his baseline test and passed.
Winchester, the latest addition to the No. 1 line, plans on making room for Jason Spezza and Milan Michalek to do their job.
"I'm going to contribute physically and take pucks to the net," Winchester said. "I'm just going to try and grind their team down and use my body. I have to keep improving and matching everything that they bring to us."
MacLean hopes to use Winchester's wheels to the top line's advantage.
"He plays with speed," MacLean said. "He get can get on the forecheck and use his speed to his advantage. He handles the puck fine. That's what we like."
