Goalie Start
Nilsson will start Monday vs. the Bruins.
Nilsson gave up two goals on 15 shots after replacing Craig Anderson (knee) in Ottawa's loss in Philadelphia on Saturday. Nilsson has gone 0-4-0 while posting an ugly 4.77 GAA and .826 SV% in his last four appearances. He actually played well in his first start against the Bruins, stopping 19 of 21 shots in a 2-1 loss, but it remains a very difficult task for the 29-year-old and should be left on the bench on Monday.
The Senators have recalled Marcus Hogberg from Belleville (AHL).
Hogberg appeared in two games with Ottawa last week with Craig Anderson injured. With Anderson back on IR, Hogberg comes back from Belleville, where he is 7-6-0 with a 3.05 GAA and .897 SV% this season.
The Senators have placed Craig Anderson on IR.
Anderson started Saturday afternoon in Philadelphia but left injured early in the first period. Anderson was hurt on a goal that ended up being disallowed on an offside review. With the veteran netminder on IR again, Anders Nilsson will be the primary starter with Marcus Hogberg coming up from Belleville to serve as his backup.

Anderson will start Saturday in Philadelphia.
Anderson allowed two goals on 26 shots in the Senators win in Edmonton on Wednesday. Anderson has been great in his last five starts, going 3-2-0 with a 1.82 GAA and .933 SV%. It could be difficult for him to keep it going against a Flyers team that has won five of their last six while scoring 3.67 goals per game.

Line Change
Lajoie will draw into the Senators lineup on Wednesday.
Line Change
Brannstrom will be a healthy scratch on Wednesday.
Goalie Start
Anderson (lower-body) will return to the Senators crease on Wednesday.
Anderson allowed one goal on 19 shots in the Senators loss in Columbus on November 25th. He ended up missing the next four games with a lower-body injury but will start Wednesday in Edmonton. While the Oilers don’t have a ton of scoring depth, facing them in Edmonton on a back-to-back with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl in the lineup makes Anderson a super risky start on Wednesday.

Send Down
The Senators have assigned Filip Chlapik to Belleville (AHL).
Chlapik played last night in Vancouver and returns to the AHL, where he has one goal in six games this season. Chlapik's demotion suggests that J.C. Beaudin will be back in the lineup on Wednesday.
Line Change
Brown will be back in the Senators lineup on Tuesday.
Brown was a healthy scratch in Calgary on Saturday but will replace J.C. Beaudin in the lineup in Vancouver. Brown has one goal and five assists (six points) in 12 games with the Senators.

Goalie Start
Nilsson will start Tuesday in Vancouver.
Nilsson allowed seven goals on 35 shots in the Senators blowout loss in Minnesota last Friday. It was a tough way to end November for Nilsson, who finished the month at 6-3-0 with a 2.69 GAA and .915 SV%. He's inconsistent and has the facing his former team narrative tonight but the Canucks are 12th in the NHL in goal-scoring (3.18 GF/gm) and have the fourth-best PP (26.4%) so it's a matchup worth avoiding.

Line Change
Beaudin will draw back into the Senators lineup on Saturday.
Beaudin sat as a healthy scratch on Friday but will replace Logan Brown in the second game of a back-to-back. Beaudin has just one assist in 13 games this season.
Line Change
Brown will be a healthy scratch on Saturday.
The Senators are on the tail-end of a back-to-back so they will give their rookie centre the night off. J.C. Beaudin will replace Brown in the lineup on Saturday.
Goalie Start
Hogberg will start Saturday in Calgary.
With Craig Anderson on IR and Anders Nilsson starting last night, Hogberg is expected to make his season debut on Saturday. Hogberg was 6-6-0 with a 3.21 GAA and .892 SV% in 14 AHL games at the time of his call-up. Hogberg has gone 0-2-1 with a 4.09 GAA and .884 SV% in his first four career NHL appearances.
