Maple Leafs-Ottawa Senators: Saturday game preview

Dion Phaneuf plays his first game at the ACC as a member of the Ottawa Senators.

Key matchup Dion Phaneuf vs. William Nylander.

The young Leafs forward likely will see plenty of the veteran ex-Leaf defenceman. Nylander is searching for his first NHL goal after going scoreless in his first three games. Phaneuf received rave reviews for his play in Ottawa, with coach Dave Cameron recently crediting Phaneuf with making the Senators blueline corps better in terms of confidence and overall play. Nylander, though, is a gifted skater and could take advantage of the slower Phaneuf to find the net for his first NHL goal.



No giving up: The Sens are at it again, mirroring last year’s sensational finish to the season, where the team produced many dramatic comebacks and third-period rallies. Ottawa tried again Thursday night but Bolts goalie Ben Bishop was stellar in guiding Tampa to a 4-1 win in Ottawa. The Senators, though, did stage successful third-period rallies in their previous two games, winning one of them, against St. Louis, but losing to Calgary in the shootout.

Long-shots: The comebacks make for great drama, but the Sens are falling behind due to sloppy defensive play and slow starts. They are 7-19-4 in games where they are trailing after one period. Ottawa remains a distant playoff hopeful, with four teams and seven points to make up to reach a wild-card berth.

Notes: Defenceman Mark Borowiecki left Thursday’s game with a knee injury … Veteran forward Scott Gomez, picked up for the stretch run, made a lacklustre debut for Ottawa Thursday. Playing for his seventh NHL team, he was a minus-1 and made a turnover that led to a goal. Gomez has 14 goals in his last 202 NHL games . . . D Marc Methot scored Ottawa’s lone goal Thursday, his first goal in 32 games.

Up next: Monday, vs. Buffalo, 7:30 pm, TSN4.

Do the Judas tankers give it a rest against our provincial rivals?

 

[Auston Matthews]

I love Nylander and everything and know he will be a key player for us for at least the next decade, but in the short term I'd like to see more out of him than just shooting it from distance into skates or other players and establish some actual offensive zone possession and show his talent. Up until this point he has looked a bit shaky with the puck, so this being his 4th game maybe he can improve.

Kapanen is looking great, is very agile and elusive and has an elite shot

[LeafsNation75]

I'm expecting another love fest tonight for Erik Karlsson because I'm assuming Glenn Healy will be between the benches since in his opinion Karlsson can do no wrong, even though in his last five games he was a minus in three of them.

 

[FazeLeaf*]

why the hell would they get scratched?

I think he believes that they will each only play 9 games which is dumb.
