Ottawa Senators forward Mike Hoffman, tied for the team lead in goals with 17, is a game-time decision because of illness. "I'm going to try and play. That's the plan," said Hoffman, who missed the Senators 3-0 win against the Washington Capitals on Tuesday. The Ottawa lineup is uncertain because of the statuses of Hoffman and defenseman Mark Borowiecki, who lost 10 pounds during his four-game absence because of a stomach virus. Forward Tommy Wingels, acquired Tuesday in a trade with the San Jose Sharks, will make his Senators debut. Wingels had eight points (five goals, three assists) in 37 games with the Sharks this season. "I like to play a physical, aggressive, speed game," Wingels said. "I like to forecheck hard. I like to chip in with some goals and that's kind of the identity they have here. ... It's exciting to come into a team that has that kind of identity, a team that has the personnel they have here and the players that move the puck like they do. It's a well-built team and I'll try to add what I can to that." Ottawa is 6-1-1 in its past eight games after a four-game losing streak (0-3-1) Goaltender Mike Condon will start his 15th straight game.
