No line-up changes expected but the Sens did make one roster move prior to tonight's game and that was recalling Andreas Englund from Belleville to provide some depth with Mark Borowiecki sidelined for at least a week with an ankle injury.
Head coach D.J. Smith met with the media late this afternoon and shared his quick scouting report on the Stars, a team he believes is a bit misunderstood.
"There's a misconception with Dallas that they're this high-flying, offensive team with Seguin and Benn and them," said Smith about tonight's opponent. "They're one of the best defensive teams in hockey and they came within a period of beating the St. Louis Blues and going to the Stanley Cup Final. They don't let you get to the net, they're big, they're strong, they check before they score and they're built to win now. They're a really good hockey team."
The coach also confirmed post-game yesterday that Craig Anderson (7-13-2) will start in goal tonight against the Stars. Anderson came in in relief of Marcus Hogberg last night versus Toronto and turned aside all 14 shots he faced in a little more than a period's worth of work.
