Pre-game Notes and Quotes
Senators coach Dave Cameron will make two lineup changes: Craig Anderson takes over in goal for Andrew Hammond and tough-guy Chris Neil is in for Alex Chiasson.
On making the goalie change :”Coach’s decision, no more than that. What gives me the best chance to win tonight’s game.” — Senators coach Dave Cameron
“Our job is to go take a couple or one out there. There’s no complacency out here just because we’re up two. But we’re definitely excited about the position we’re in.” — Devante Smith-Pelly
