Ottawa Senators News

Anderson stopped all eight shots that he faced after replacing Mike Condon in the Senators win over the Avalanche on Saturday. The win moved Anderson to 3-1-0 with a 2.60 GAA and .895 SV% in four November appearances and tonight he makes his first start of the season vs. Pittsburgh. The 36-year-old comes into Thursday at 4-3-3 with a 3.45 GAA and .886 SV% on home ice this season.

Anderson allowed five goals on 34 shots in the Senators loss to Vegas last Saturday. Anderson has won three of his last five starts despite posting a 4.11 GAA and .869 SV%. It’s been an ugly start to the season for the 36-year-old, who just hasn’t been able to come up with the big saves that he was making last year.

Anderson allowed one goal on 25 shots in the Senators’ win over the Red Wings on Thursday. Anderson has won three of his last four starts while posting a 3.82 GAA and .874 SV% and tonight he will make his 11th start of the season. He is a must-start tonight vs. a Vegas team that has won three in a row.

Anderson was pulled after surrendering six goals on 15 shots in the Senators’ blowout loss to Montreal on Monday. Anderson has had a really tough go as of late, allowing a combined 21 goals on 156 shots (.865 SV%) in his last five starts. Despite the poor play, he is a decent option tonight against a sub-par Red Wings team.

Anderson allowed four goals on 40 shots in the Senators win over the Flyers last Thursday. Mike Condon started two of the last three games, but Anderson will start tonight vs. the Canadiens. Anderson will make his ninth start of the season tonight and it comes against the 3-7-1 Canadiens—he is 2-1-3 with a 3.25 GAA and .899 SV% on home ice this season.

Amadio, 21, was a third round pick (No.90 overall) in 2014 and has earned his first career call-up following a two-assist in five-game start to the AHL season. The Canadian-born forward had 41 points (16G / 25A) in 68 games with the Reign a season ago.

Anderson allowed three goals on 31 shots in the Senators win over Toronto last Saturday. Mike Condon started on Tuesday, so they’ll come back to Anderson tonight vs. the Flyers. The 36-year-old comes into play on Thursday at 1-1-3 with a 3.10 GAA and .899 SV% in five starts at the Canadian Tire Centre this season.

Anderson allowed three goals on 24 shots in the Senators’ loss to the Canucks on Tuesday. Anderson has had a strong start to the season, going 2-1-2 with a 1.91 GAA, .926 SV% and one shutout in his first five starts. Tonight he takes on a New Jersey team that is surprisingly sitting at 5-1-0 while ranking third in the league in goals (4.17 GF/PG).

Eller missed practice on Monday, but was back on the ice for the Capitals morning skate and is now listed as a game-time decision for tonight’s game vs. the Maple Leafs. If Eller is unable to go, Tyler Graovac will draw into the lineup. Eller has two assists in six games this season.

Anderson stopped all 25 shots that he faced in the Senators’ shutout win in Calgary on Friday. Mike Condon gave him the night off on Saturday, so they’ll come back to Anderson tonight vs. the Canucks. He faced Vancouver last week, stopping 26 of 28 shots in the victory—roll him out again.

Eller’s status for Tuesday’s game vs. the Maple Leafs is in question after missing Monday’s practice session with an illness. With Eller not on the ice, Tyler Graovac centred the Capitals’ third line. Eller has just assists in six games this season and doesn’t carry much fantasy value as a bottom-6 option in Washington.

Anderson allowed two goals on 28 shots in the Senators’ win in Vancouver on Tuesday. After losing his first two starts of the season, Anderson finally got into the win column and will make his fourth straight start tonight. Anderson has posted a 2.15 GAA and .919 SV% so far and tonight he faces a Flames team who have won three in a row.

After sitting out of the season opener, Cousins has been in the lineup for the last two games, failing to record a point, four shots and three hits. He’ll likely centre the fourth line with Jordan Martinook and Anthony Duclair on his wings.

Cousins is dealing with a lower-body injury and is listed as a game-time decision, but doesn’t carry a lot of fantasy value regardless of his status. Cousins has no points and three shots in two games so far this season.

Anderson made 29 saves on 30 shots in Ottawa’s shootout loss to the visiting Red Wings on Saturday. Anderson has lost each of his first two starts via the shootout while stopping 53 of 59 shots (.914 SV%). Tonight he will make his first start outside of Ottawa—he went 12-6-2 with a 2.38 GAA, .927 SV% and three shutouts on the road a season ago.

The Senators blueline is banged up; Erik Karlsson is still fighting a foot injury, Johnny Oduya missed Saturday’s game with a lower-body injury and Ben Harpur left that game with an upper-body ailment. Chabot, who was expected to make the opening night roster, has one goal and one assist in two games with Belleville (AHL). Look for Chabot to make his season debut on tomorrow in Vancouver.

Formenton, 18, was a second round pick (No.47 overall) in this summer’s draft and tonight he will play in his first NHL games. Formenton, who will replace fellow 2017 draft pick Logan Brown, had 34 points (16G / 18A) in 65 games with London (OHL) last season.

Anderson surrendered four goals on 28 shots in the Senators’ shootout loss to the Capitals on Thursday. It was not a great start to the season for the veteran netminder, who will make his second start of the season tonight vs. Detroit. The Red Wings looked surprisingly good in their opener, but this is a pretty solid matchup for Anderson.
