THE BIG MATCHUP
Mark Stone vs. Kyle Turris
The Senators winger has helped lead the way during this difficult season and they’ll need a big effort in this one to get a victory. Stone played 26 minutes last Tuesday in Nashville with the Senators shorthanded and he’ll get lots of time in this one. Turris returned to the Predators’ lineup last Thursday after being out for an extended period with an upper body injury. He missed the chance to play his old team last week.
FIVE KEYS TO THE GAME
1. Cut down on the shots
Craig Anderson will be back in the net against the Predators. He allowed three goals on 33 shots last Tuesday in Nashville in a 3-1 loss. The Senators gave up 48 shots to the Montreal Canadiens Saturday night, but did a good job in Detroit 24 hours earlier. The club can’t allow Anderson to get so much work.
