Up front, Sens head coach D.J. Smith will wait until after warm-up to finalize his forward lines as Anthony Duclair, who missed practice yesterday, is dealing with the repurcussions of blocking a shot in Thursday's loss to the Panthers.
UPDATE (1:30 p.m.): With Duclair a question mark for tonight the Sens have recalled Drake Batherson from Belleville. In 33 GPs with the BSens this season, Batherson leads the AHL in scoring with 41 points (13G, 28A) and is tops among all forwards in plus/minus at +20.
With what we know pre-game, here's my best guess at the Sens' projected line-up against Tampa Bay:
Tkachuk - Tierney - Duclair*
Paul - Pageau - C. Brown
Balcers - White - Ennis
Namestnikov - Anisimov - Sabourin
Chabot - Borowiecki
Reilly - Goloubef
Englund - Jaros
