Get set for puck drop in Los Angeles with all the news and notes on the Sens line-up for tonight.

Sens head coach Guy Boucher met with the media earlier today in LA and confirmed that they'll roll with the same forwards and defencemen as last game.

"Right now, it's the finishing," shared Boucher about sticking with the same line-up. "We gave ourselves 19 scoring chances yesterday. It's not about the number of chances we're going to get, it's not even about the number of chances we gave up yesterday. We gave them only 15 scoring chances and under 22 shots so whether it's offensively or defensively...we're not finishing. Period."
In case you missed last game, here's a quick refresher on how the lines and pairings looked against the Ducks:
Ryan - Brassard - Stone
Smith - Duchene - Dzingel
Hoffman - Pageau - Dumont
Pyatt - Thompson - Burrows
Harpur - Karlsson
Phaneuf - Chabot
Oduya - Ceci
Fredrik Claesson will be the extra again for the second game in a row.

In Goal

The lone change to the Sens line-up tonight comes in goal as Mike Condon (2-2-3) will start his 8th game of the season. Condon's last appearance came on Sunday against the Jets in what was a rough outing for everyone. Prior to that, he stopped 19 of 19 in relief against the Islanders to pick up his second win of the season.
"It's a back-to-back and the last time Andy wanted to get in there and we tried it that way," said Boucher about using Condon tonight. "I just feel now that it's a long stretch on the road, it's been a long month and it's right for Condon to get in the nets on this one."
