The Ottawa Senators and Calgary Flames wrap up their three-game series tonight.
The Set-up
Ottawa (7-15-1) has won three of its last four after suffering a 6-3 loss to Calgary Saturday afternoon.
Calgary (10-10-2) snapped a two-game losing streak with its win Saturday. The Flames are fifth in the North Division, one point behind Montreal for the final playoff spot.
The Senators had a lot of success on the power play Saturday as all three of their goals came on the man advantage. The Sens' power play ranks 25th in the NHL at 15.7 per cent but at home, are converting at a 21.4 per cent success rate.
Roster notes
Braydon Coburn will come into the lineup tonight as he will replace Erik Brannstrom, who was sent to the taxi squad Sunday.
"We're going to get [Brannstrom] back in fairly quick but ... sometimes when you watch the game you realize you have a little more time and it's just a good time to reset and we'll get him in as soon as possible," head coach D.J. Smith said.
The rest of the Sens lineup is expected to remain as it was Saturday.
Additionally, the Sens re-assigned Logan Brown and Filip Gustavsson to the Belleville Senators today while recalling Clark Bishop and Kevin Mandolese and re-assigning them to the team's taxi squad.
