We passed along some quick injury updates in today's
Game Day 5
but in case you missed it, Mark Stone has been shut down for the remainder of the season and despite leaving last game with a lower body injury, Bobby Ryan is good to go tonight.
The Sens should be in tough against the Penguins as they are currently in the midst of jostling for a final playoff position and could lock up home ice advantage in the first round with a win tonight.
"I expect their very best," said head coach Guy Boucher. "They're a hungry, driven team and they're the Stanley Cup Champions so they definitely want to come out and give their last push to get into the best position in the standings as they can."
"If we're not at our very, very best then we're not going to have a chance," Boucher continued. "We want to make sure that we're very focused tonight and some of our young guys are going to get their money's worth against the Crosby's and the Malkin's and the Kessel's."
