Injury Reports:
Jason Garrison is going to miss a few more games with an inexact "lower body injury." Jacob Markstrom is fully recovered and was optioned to the San Antonio Rampage earlier this week.
Starting Lineups:
Florida Panthers:
Forwards:
Tomas Fleischmann - Stephen Weiss - Kris Versteeg
Sean Bergenheim - Marcel Goc - Mikael Samuelsson
Mike Santorelli - Shawn Matthias - Tomas Kopecky
Matt Bradley - John Madden - Jack Skille
Defensemen:
Brian Campbell - Erik Gudbranson
Keaton Ellerby - Mike Weaver
Tyson Strachan - Colby Robak
Goalie:
Jose Theodore returned from his injury with a 4-1 victory versus the New York Islanders this Sunday, but Scott Clemmensen was the first goalie off the ice at practice earlier today. Usually, the first goaltender off is the starter at that evenings game, but there hasn't been a confirmation either way.
Ottawa Senators:
Forwards:
Milan Michalek - Jason Spezza - Bobby Butler
Colin Greening - Kyle Turris - Daniel Alfredsson
Kaspars Daugavins - Zach Smith - Erik Condra
Nick Foligno - Jim O'Brien - Chris Neil
Defensemen:
Filip Kuba - Erik Karlsson
Jared Cowen - Sergei Gonchar
Chris Phillips - Brian Lee
Goalie:
Senators coach Paul MacLean figures to ride the hot hand in goal. Craig Anderson has been confirmed as the starter tonight. He boasts a career 6-0-1 record with a 2.22 GAA against the Panthers, and shut out the Tampa Bay Lightning last night.
