Can confirm report by @Realkyper that Craig Anderson has suffered a hand injury.
Sounds like Anderson will at least miss this weekend's festivities. Stay tuned for a further update on the Sens starting goalie.
Ottawa Senators News
Goalie Start
#CraigAnderson41 to start in goal for #Sens tonight against Capitals at @ScotiabankPlace. No other lineup changes.
In 10 career starts against the Caps, Anderson has a 4-5-1 record with a 2.81 GAA, .916 SV% and one shutout.
Line Change
Perron will play with McDonald-Berglund
Perron slides down to the very familiar second line. The 23-year-old has been on an absolute tear as of late, scoring seven goals in his last eight games.
Line Change
Apparently no injuries to Voracek or Giroux per Holmgren.
Giroux abruptly left practice leading to speculation that he might be hurt. The superstar center has 22 goals and 68 points in 54 games. Wellwood filling in likely means this absence is maintenance related.
Line Change
When Giroux left mid-practice, they had Eric Wellwood change jerseys and fill in as C on his line.

Line Change
David Perron-David Backes-T.J. Oshie
Perron moves back onto the top line for tonight's game. Through 27 games, the former 19th overall pick has six goals and 19 points. Playing with Backes and Oshie is probably his best chance at productivity.

MacArthur is in the midst of his worst slump as a Leaf, a seven-game skid without a single point. The empty stretch oddly comes right on the heels of a seven-game point streak (three goals, five assists), his longest as a Leaf.
MacArthur is a very streaky forward but likely finishes the season with over 20 goals and around 40 points. His 62-point season of last year looks like his absolutely ceiling while playing a primary scoring role -- something both Phil Kessel and Joffrey Lupul absorbed this season.
