We've got 5 things to get you ready for the first stop on the Sens 4-game road trip that kicks off tonight in Pittsburgh against the Penguins.

1. Starting Goalies

Craig Anderson has rejoined the Sens for their 4-game road trip and will get the start tonight in Pittsburgh. Anderson missed the previous two games to be with his family as his wife Nicholle began cancer treatment. The Sens' starter has been on point all season and currently sits in the top 10 among goalies for wins (12), save percentage (.930) and shutouts (3).
At the other end of the rink, Marc-Andre Fleury gets the nod for the Penguins. Fleury is 8-5-3 this season in 16 starts this season.

2. Previous match-up

There were some fireworks the last time these two teams faced off in Pittsburgh as they combined for 11 goals in a 6-5 Penguins win. Sidney Crosby led the way for the Pens with a trio of goals while the line of Zack Smith (0G, 2A), Jean-Gabriel Pageau (1G, 1A) and Mark Stone (1G, 1A) compiled a total of 6 points in defeat.
Here are the full highlights from that game:

3. Projected line-up

No changes to the line-up tonight based on last game but the forward lines and defence pairings have been tweaked a bit according to this morning's skate.
Andreas Englund, who made his NHL debut on Saturday, skated next to the captain while some noticeable changes up front see Jean-Gabriel Pageau moving back to the third line centre spot and Tom Pyatt slotting in next to Kyle Turris and Ryan Dzingel on the second line. Obviously, things will change and adjustments will be made but here's how things look fro tonight...

4. Historically speaking

Here's a tidbit, the Sens current active points leader against the Penguins in Pittsburgh is Chris Neil with 8 points in 24 games. Who's #2? Chris Kelly who has 6 career points in Steeltown, USA in a Sens jersey. Not really the two guys I thought I'd see at the top of that list but it goes to show their longevity in the league.
The Sens current top 5 goal scorers have combined for just 3 career goals in the PPG Paints Arena (former the Console Energy Center), with Mark Stone's pair making up 66% of that total. Erik Karlsson and Mike Hoffman have never scored a goal in Pittsburgh so here's hoping they both snap that tonight.
All-time the Sens boast a 16-24-4-3 record when facing the Penguins on the road and are currently in the midst of a 3-game losing streak at PPG Paints Arena.So if you're asking me, they're due.

5. Where to watch

Game time is set for 7 p.m. tonight in Pittsburgh and you can catch all the action on TSN5 and RDS2.
