Game Day Notes: Game #19 - Sens vs. Flyers

Puck drop is set for 7:30 p.m. at Canadian Tire Centre and we've got all the latest details on the Sens' projected line-up, starting goaltender and more before hosting the Flyers.

Projected line-up

A few changes up front and we'll start with the biggest (both in noteriety and physical size). After missing the past 6 games with an upper body injury, Logan Brown has been given a clean bill of health and will be back in action tonight against the Flyers.
"We probably could've played him last game," said Sens head coach D.J. Smith about Brown. "Being a young guy, we wanted to make sure that he's better than 100% and give him those extra two days. I don't think there was a real hurry but he is in tonight."

Smith has little hesitation re-integrating Brown into the line-up as he's expected to slot right back in on a line with Brady Tkachuk and Anthony Duclair while Colin White moves between Vladislav Namestnikov and Tyler Ennis.
"I think that gives us a little more depth," the coach said about swapping his centres. "I thought White would be a better fit for Vladdy and Ennis. Not to say that at any point I'll be willing to flip guys if they aren't going but I think that gives us more depth."
Here's a look at the Sens projected line-up tonight against Philadelphia:
Tkachuk - L. Brown - Duclair
Paul - Pageau - C. Brown
Namestnikov - White - Ennis
Chlapik - Tierney - Ryan
Chabot - Zaitsev
Borowiecki - Demelo
Brannstrom - Hainsey

In goal

Anders Nilsson (4-4-1) gets the call in net for the Senators tonight and will be looking to bounce back after a tough showing in his most recent outing. Nilsson was beaten 4 times on 19 shots in Raleigh on Monday night which was a rare blip for the the NHL's reigning First Star of the Week. In 4 games this month, Nilsson has a 3-1-0 record and a sparkling .925 sv% over that span.
