The Sens line-up will look a little different in places as they'll be without several regular forwards tonight against the Predators.

For starters, Mark Stone, Derick Brassard and Nate Thompson will all miss tonight's game with injuries. These losses are compounded because of the long-term absences of Bobby Ryan (finger), Gabriel Dumont (high-ankle sprain) and now Alex Burrows who will begin serving the first of his 10-game suspension tonight.
With some holes up front, Mike Blunden has been recalled from Belleville and will skate in his first game with the Senators in nearly a year.
If you're doing some rough math in your head and realizing "that's not enough forwards", you are correct. Sens head coach Guy Boucher shared with the media this morning following the team's skate that he plans to roll with 11 forwards and 7 defencemen again this evening.

With that, here's look at the Sens' projected line-up for tonight:
Hoffman - Duchene - White
Dzingel - Smith - DiDomenico
Paajarvi - Pageau - Pyatt
McCormick - Blunden
Oduya - Karlsson
Phaneuf - Ceci
Chabot - Borowiecki
Claesson

In Goal

Craig Anderson (14-17-5) gets the call in net tonight for the Senators. Anderson has been great over his last 7 starts for Ottawa posting a .924 save percentage over that span and has won his last two starts against the Flyers and Devils. Boucher had been alternating his goaltenders recently but Mike Condon has been a little under the weather so Anderson gets his second game in a row.
