The Set-up
Ottawa (8-17-1) has lost the first two games of this six-game road trip after defeat in Montreal and then Calgary Thursday night.
Calgary (11-11-2) beat Ottawa 7-3 three nights ago and then fired head coach Jeff Ward post-game, replacing him with former head coach Darryl Sutter.
The Flames and Sens are the two lowest scoring teams in the North Division with Calgary having scored 68 goals this season while the Senators have two more, albeit in one extra game.
Calgary has conceded the most short-handed goals in the NHL this season, alongside Anaheim, with four. Ottawa has one shorty so far this season.
Roster notes
After not playing Thursday due to injury, Mike Reilly will be a game-time decision tonight. If he doesn't go, Christian Wolanin will take his place in the lineup.
The Senators did not skate this morning but did send Braydon Coburn to the taxi squad while recalling Erik Brannstrom.
Here's how the Senators lined up during its practice Saturday:
Tkachuk - Tierney - C. Brown
Paul - White - Dadonov
Stützle - Norris - Batherson
Dzingel - Anisimov - Watson
Peca
Chabot - Zaitsev
Reilly - Zub
Brannstrom - Gudbranson
Wolanin - J. Brown
Previous history
The Sens are 2-2 this season against the Flames with the teams combining for a staggering 32 goals over those four games.
The home team has won three of four contests so far. After tonight, the two teams don't meet again until March 22.
Who to watch
Colin White has enjoyed playing the Flames this season as he has four goals in four games. White is one of four Senators to be averaging at least a point-per-game against the Flames: Thomas Chabot, Drake Batherson and Tim Stützle are the others.
White has six goals and 11 points while averaging 15:13 a night in 22 games this season.
