Ottawa Senators - Buffalo Sabers

Course/Stage: Canadian Tire Center (Ottawa)

Eastern Region

Ottawa Senators

(Position 15th Div.Ν.9-ΝΠ.2-ΗΠ.2-Η.18 Τερμ.89-112)

   They want to show this year that he will not be a "poor relative" in the Eastern Region but mainly in the Atlantic Division. Due to covid-19 they have given the fewest games in the category but their performances are not so bad. Aim at 5^η position and hope to succeed. They count two (2) consecutive good away victories and they want to finish the good tonight at their home. In a seat that, however, has the worst record in the entire Region. However, the two (2) away victories with Calgary (1-4) and Edmonton (4-6) showed that they can achieve a lot. Tonight the absences have been reduced a lot and so will be missing Heatherington D. (A9sm), Zaitsev N. (A.22sm / 1g / 1as), Brown C. (E.26pcs / 5g / 14as.) & Pinto S. (E.5συμ. / 1ασ).

(Θέση14η Ν.8-ΝΠ.3-ΗΠ.7-Η.20 Τέρμ.98-133)

   If they had not made the surprise, four (4) days ago against Nashville, now they would only count defeats. In the last game they were defeated at home by the Detroit Red Wings 2-3 in overtime. Although they kept the victory in their hands, they conceded two (2) goals in the end and finally lost the match. They suffer from many absences due to COVID-19. They are generally a team that does not have many potentials, but I recognize that they never give up their games. The absences are also many tonight, who will essentially play "without a goal" as Tokarski D. (T.14 ppm / 90.30% rep.), Luuklonen UP (T.9 ppm / 91.70% rep.), Anderson C. (T.6 ppm / 92.11% rep.), Subban M. (T.4pcs / 8.12%) will be missing. Also the Bryson J. (A.29pcs / 7as), Miller C. (A.33pcs. / 2g / 10as.), Girgensons Z. (E.33cm / 7g / 5as), Caggiula D. (E.18cm / 2g / 3as), and Mittelstadt C. (E.4 ppm) can not help.

   The hosts will definitely go higher as they are combative and have simply given fewer games. I have said before that in hockey the goalkeeper may be even more important than the attackers. The visitors are going with a mediocre goal this year that I do not think will be able to prevent defeat in such a crucial match. Ace (incl. Extra time & penalty)
