Game Day Notes: Sens vs. Coyotes

Get set for tonight's game against the Arizona Coyotes with a look at the Sens' projected line-up, starting goalie and more...

Projected Line-up

Sens head coach Guy Boucher met with the media earlier today and shared that he would be returning to the 11 forwards / 7 defencemen deployment tonight against the Coyotes. He was still waiting to confirm the availability of Mark Borowiecki, who appears to be ready to return to action after missing Saturday's game with a lower body injury, but did say that rookie Rudolfs Balcers would be the extra skater up front.
The coach also shared that should Borowiecki be cleared, he'll need to make a decision on which defender will come out of the line-up as a result so stay tuned until closer to warm-up for some confirmations on who the healthy scratches will be against Arizona.

In the meantime, here's a look at the projected forward lines tonight:
Dzingel - Duchene - Ryan
Tkachuk - Tieney - Stone
Smith - Pageau - Boedker
Paul - Paarjarvi

In Goal

Craig Anderson (14-14-3) is set to make his second consecutive start for the Senators after returning from a concussion last weekend. Anderson was brilliant in St. Louis in his first game in over a month, stopping 35 of the 38 shots he faced in a 3-2 defeat against the Blues on Saturday night.

White nearing return

Some good news on the injury front today as well as Colin White took part in his second practice with the team while wearing a yellow non-contact jersey. White was injured during the first period against the Los Angeles Kings on January 10th but it appears that he could be ready to return following the All-Star Break / Bye Week.
"I've been doing a lot of treatment with our trainers Gerry and Dom and they've done a great job," said White. "I think I'll be good to go following the break. That's the plan right now so I just need to stay on my recovery for the next week and a half."
"The timing of the break is pretty perfect for me," White continued. "I'm going to head home for a few days but then coming back here early so I can start treatment back up so I'm ready to go."
