Following today's morning skate, Sens head coach Guy Boucher confirmed a few small line-up tweaks ahead of facing the Panthers.

For starters, Colin White has been recalled from Belleville on an emergency basis. This marks White's 4th NHL recall of the season and it's expected that he'll line-up with Zack Smith and Magnus Paajarvi to form a formidable checking line.
The coach also mentioned that the Sens' top two lines will remain untouched which means that Boucher will deploy a fourth line consisting of Max McCormick, Filip Chlapik and Alex Burrows tonight. No changes coming on the blueline as the Sens will roll with the same tandems as Tuesday's game against the Islanders.
With that, here's a look at the Sens' projected line-up against the Panthers...

We also have a few injury updates to pass along and we'll start with the most positive. Mark Stone joined the Sens for their morning skate and while their leading scorer has been ruled out for tonight's game, it's looking like Stone could be ready to return sometime soon.
"I hope so," said Stone about being close to a return. "I'm going to try and play some games here. I feel pretty solid but it was only my first practice today so I'll get one more tomorrow and then go from there."
It's basically the exact opposite news for Chris Wideman as the 28-year-old defenceman has been shut down for the remainder of the season. Wideman tore his hamstring way back on November 16th, 2017 against the Penguins and has missed the Sens' last 59 games while recovering from surgery. He's been a presence for all the team's home skates over the past few weeks and while he appeared ahead of schedule for a potential return, the doctor's decided to be more cautious with his recovery and advised Wideman and the team to take a safer approach.

Marian Gaborik, who has missed the last 3 games with a nagging injury, has also been ruled out tonight. While his season hasn't officially come to an end, Boucher shared that the right winger is probably closer to "week-to-week" as opposed to "day-to-day" and with a little over a week remaining, time may run out for a potential return this season.

In Goal

The coach also confirmed that Craig Anderson (21-23-6) will get the start in goal for the Senators tonight against his former team. Anderson has a 1-1-0 record versus the Panthers this season and was chased in their most recent meeting after allowing 4 goals on 17 shots.
