Sens head coach Guy Boucher shared a few details on the Sens' line-up for tonight's game against the Sharks which includes the return on Zack Smith.

Smith had been on injured reserve since suffering a shoulder injury on Dec. 21st but hinted after his first practice with the team without a non-contact jersey yesterday that he could be ready to return as early as tonight's game.
"It's tough when the team is winning and doing well but especially when they're losing," said Smith of watching the previous 5 games from the sidelines. "Even though it's not fun, you want to be a part of it and hopefully make a difference."
With Smith's impending return, Filip Chlapik has been returned to Belleville.
The Sens will also see a change on the blue-line tonight with Ben Harpur swapping places with Fredrik Claesson. Boucher emphazied that Harpur's size could be help deal with San Jose's big forward group.

Using yesterday's line rushes at practice as a template, here's a look at the Sens projected line-up for tonight...
Hoffman - Duchene - Ryan
Dzingel - Brassard - Stone
Pyatt - Thompson - Smith
Dumont - Pageau - Burrows
Oduya - Karlsson
Phaneuf - Ceci
Harpur - Chabot

In Goal

Craig Anderson (9-12-5) starts his second consecutive game for the Sens tonight. Anderson was stellar on Wednesday in Detroit turning aside 33 of the 35 shots he faced before dropping the decision in overtime.
With back-to-back home games on the menu this weekend, the coach didn't rule out using Anderson for both contests.
"We have a Plan A and a Plan B so depending on how guy's feel and how they play then we'll see," said Boucher. "Right now we're just looking at the San Jose game though."
