Here's a look at what we know about the Sens line-up prior to puck drop against the Dallas Stars.

Only one change is expected to the skaters tonight and that's the return of Fredrik Claesson on the backend. Erik Burgdoerfer, who registered his first career NHL point on Tuesday, was sent back to Belleville this week which means the number's game works to clear a path for Claesson tonight against the Stars.
Marian Gaborik didn't skate much over the past few days and according to head coach Guy Boucher, it's the result of a "nagging injury". Gaborik missed a pair of games at the beginning of March with similar symptoms but the right winger is expected to play tonight versus Dallas.
Here's a look at the Sens' projected lines tonight against the Stars:

The coach also shared a brief update on Mark Stone who could return to action as early as Tuesday but the Sens' leading scorer has yet to skate since suffering a lower-body injury a week ago against the Flames which could delay his recovery.
"Tuesday or Thursday but I have to wait for the medical ok," said Boucher of a potential return date for Stone. "Everyday that he's not on the ice pushes back his return though."
Practice time hasn't been an issue for Chris Wideman who has been out of the line-up since early December after tearing his hamstring against the Penguins. While Wideman continues to make strides on the ice, his fate won't be dictated by a desire to get back this season but rather the medical approval from the team doctors.
"There's what he wants and what the doctors will want," shared the coach. "Hopefully he'll be able to come back and get some games but I think the doctors will try to be cautious with that one to his dismay."

In Goal

Craig Anderson (20-20-6) gets the start in goal tonight against Dallas. Anderson's play has really picked up as of late and he's compiled a 3-0-1 record in his last 4 starts. On the cusp of yet another back-to-back (that's #17 on the season if youre keeping track), Mike Condon is probable to start tomorrow's game in Columbus after serving as the back-up tonight.
