With no morning skate and a few players' availabilities up in the air, Sens head caoch Guy Boucher met with the media today and passed along a few updates on his line-up for tonight but expects to finalize his game roster after warm-up.
"We have to wait and see because we have a few uncertaintees," said Boucher. "We still have to see about Bobby and we have a little issue on defence. We have to see if that's ok so we brought up some guys for flexibility."
Bobby Ryan was absent from yesterday's practice with an illness while Ben Harpur could be the defenceman in question after briefly leaving the skate but Boucher wasn't able to confirm his status for tonight. With questions lingering, the Sens have recalled Darren Archibald and Filip Chlapik from Belleville this morning and depending on which players are available tonight, he shared that he could go with 11 & 7 or 12 & 6 against the Devils. As for their chances at playing in New Jersey, it's still very much up in the air.
"We might have one of those guys play, we might have two of those guys play or we might have none of those guys play," said the coach about Archibald and Chlapik. "That's where it's at."
