Lightning @ Senators

[Alfie11]

- A surprise, Anderson won't play tonight. He's not on the ice, and Condon found out last night he was playing. Let's hope for the best.

- Bobby Ryan is back. Kyle Turris is back.

[Alfie11]

Anderson is out with a lower body injury.

not great news but honestly, glad to hear it's not a setback or anything with his wife

[Josh]

Agreed, glad it's not his wife. Hopefully also nothing that will jeopardize his playoff performance.

It'll be interesting to see the lines with Bobby back in.

[Habs06]

This should be a good game. The lightning are picking it up recently.

[Jasmine]

According to the headline on The Ottawa Sun, Stone is out 'week to week'...anyone know what the injury is?

As long as Anderson isn't out for the playoffs, I see no reason to be concerned. As I've been posting in the 'Stretch Drive' thread, the playoffs are pretty much a lock at this point and home ice seems pretty likely. Condon has done the job, and as long as he does a decent job, the Sens will finish around where they would have anyways.

Also, Boucher said he's gonna be flipping Bobby/Dzingel to see what works well.

[Matt the Aussie]

Yeah I think it'll be Dzingel with Turris and Ryan with Brassard

The Sens are down by 1 and are playing slow, lazy, disorganized hockey.

[Josh]

Condon makes a helluva' save right at the end of the period to keep the score 1-0 Tampa.

[Josh]

Wingels! 1-1!

[Alfie11]

Holy, what a game Mike Condon is having

[Alfie11]

Sens lose 2-1 in OT. Condon got them the point

[Matt the Aussie]

Score 1 for Condon.

The Wingels goal came from an unlucky deflection off the referee. Without that bit of luck, I'm not sure the Sens really threatened Tampa too much. We will need to be a whole lot better vs. the Hawks tomorrow.

It's an extremely tight race for the 1 wildcard spot still available - Tampa pulls level with the Islanders and a bad loss for Toronto leaves them 1 point behind (with a game in hand).

I'm pretty happy that the Sens have 5 points (+ 1 game) on Boston right now but we can't afford to coast home.
