Time - 7:00 @ Scotiabank Place, Ottawa
Tonight the O&B travel up north to Canada to face the Senators. The game will be broadcast on 610 tonight since the Phillies still need to finish up Atlanta. The Flyers took 32 players to Ottawa after the first round of cuts were made. John Stevens announced that a lot of the younger guys who saw some action Monday will either be sent to the Phantoms (who are 2-0 in the preseason after beating Lowell the other night), or head back to their junior teams. Luca Sbisa, who I thought played fairly well, will head back to Lethbridge. Andreas Nodl, Matt Clackson, and John Kalinski will suit up for the Phantoms. Stevens said he was impressed by the young kids, but I doubt any of them will actually be with the senior squad when the Flyers meet the Rangers.
The biggest news today is that Simon Gagne will suit up and play Saturday against the Hurricanes at the Spectrum. This will be his first game since getting knocked out last season, so hopefully he'll be able to take some hits. I don't see Stevens playing him any more than a period or so, but it will be good to see him out there and to see if he and Danny Briere can regain their chemistry.
The Flyers will remain in Ontario this week when they play their annual game in London tomorrow against the New York Islanders.
