The set-up
Ottawa (19-27-5) grabbed a point in Montreal Saturday night after they fell 3-2 in overtime. It was the Sens' first overtime loss since March 25 against Toronto.
Winnipeg (27-20-3) are currently riding a six-game losing streak that has seen them fall 14 points behind Toronto for the North Division lead. Five of the team's six losses came on home ice.
The Jets are a better road team this year where they have a 16-9-1 record while Ottawa is 11-10-4 at Canadian Tire Centre.
Winnipeg's power play has gone cold during its losing streak converting just one of its 13 opportunities. The Sens have also struggled recently on the man advantage, going 0-for-12 in its last four games after riding a six-game power play scoring streak beforehand.
Despite their recent struggles, the Jets still rank fourth in the NHL on the power play at 25 per cent. The Sens sit 26th at 16.3 per cent but have converted 20.8 per cent of the time against Winnipeg this season.
Roster notes
Alex Formenton will return to the Senators lineup tonight after missing Saturday's game against Montreal. He'll replace Michael Amadio.
No other changes are expected for the Sens who still don't have Anton Forsberg available so either Filip Gustavsson or Marcus Hogberg will start in goal.
Previous history
Ottawa is 2-5-1 against the Jets this season and their five points against Winnipeg are their second lowest against any opponent this year. They're 1-2-1 on home ice this season.
The two teams will complete its season series May 8 in Winnipeg.

Thomas Chabot recorded the 150th point of his NHL career Saturday and continues to lead all Sens d-men in scoring this season with 31 points (six goals).
