The latest on Mark Stone, Erik Karlsson, Mike Condon and more in today's edition of the line-up notes.

Despite joining the team on this trip, Stone won't make his return tonight against the Sabres. Stone did skate again this morning but said yesterday that if he wasn't at 100%, he wouldn't rush back into the line-up. The Sens will also be without their captain tonight as Karlsson remained in Ottawa as he continues to deal with a personal matter.
Zack Smith, who was absent from this morning's skate, is good to go and Sens head coach Guy Boucher shared that it was just a maintanence day. Some quick math says that the Senators have a vacancy in their line-up and Boucher confirmed that Filip Chlapik would return this evening against the Sabres after sitting out Monday's game.
With that, here's a look at tonight's Sens projected line-up via

...
White - Duchene - Hoffman
Pyatt - Pageau - Ryan
Dzingel - Smith - Paajarvi
McCormick - Chlapik - Burrows
Chabot - Borowiecki
Wolanin - Ceci
Harpur - Claesson
As you can see from the projected forward lines above, Boucher is giving Colin White another look alongside Matt Duchene tonight. They've had a few stints together this season and the coach mentioned that he likes how White's skill and drive compliment Duchene's game and hopes to seem them click again in Buffalo.
"White's clicked well with him," said Boucher about the tandem. "Hopefully in the next 3 games we're able to see that kind of chemistry grow."

In Goal

Craig Anderson (22-24-6) gets the nod in goal tonight which marks his 57th start of the season (his 3rd most with the Sens). Anderson has picked up just one win in his last five appearances (1-4-0) but this will be a rare set of consecutive starts for him as they employed an alternation in goal for the better part of 2018.
Mike Condon didn't travel with the team after suffering a concussion yesterday at practice and has been replaced by Danny Taylor who was called up from Belleville. With yet another back-to-back on the schedule this weekend, the coach confirmed that it is possible that Taylor could make his first NHL start in over 5 years.
