One small change up front for the Sens tonight along with some help for the defence corps has been recalled from Belleville.

After suffering an ankle injury over the weekend, Gabriel Dumont won't be available against the Wild. Sens head coach Guy Boucher also mentioned that his recovery seemed to be a bit ahead of schedule but they'll take the cautious approach tonight and Nick Paul will re-enter the line-up in Dumont's place.

On the backend, Ben Harpur has been recalled from Belleville. Harpur, who has appeared in 12 games for the Senators this season, isn't expected to draw into the line-up this evening but is available should his services be required.
"Just in case something happens," said Boucher to the media earlier today. "We have a few guys who are sick so we just want to make sure we don't have a last minute sickness tonight and were leaving tomorrow morning for the trip so we're backing ourselves up."
There were no line rushes at the morning skate today so here's my best guess as to what the lines and pairings could look like tonight...
Ryan - Duchene - Stone
Dzingel - Brassard - Hoffman
Smith - Pageau - Pyatt
Paul - Thompson - Burrows
Oduya - Karlsson
Phaneuf - Ceci
Claesson - Chabot

In Goal

Craig Anderson (9-10-3) gets the start in net and looks to extend his winning streak to 3 games for the first time this season. Anderson was perfect on Saturday in the 2017 Scotiabank NHL 100 Classic stopping all 28 shots he faced to pick up his second shutout of the year.
