Winnipeg Jets vs Ottawa Senators: Jets Look to Bounce Back in Ottawa
The Winnipeg Jets are back in Ottawa tonight for their final game of a two-game series between them and the Senators. Puck drop is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. central time.
Game one of this series went the Senators way on Monday night. The Jets started the game strong with two goals, right out of the gate, in the first period but the Senators scored two goals of their own in the second half of the first to send the teams into the locker room tied at one.
Neither team found the back of the net in the second and in the third the Senators were able to beat Connor Hellebuyck twice en route to a 4-2 victory. You can find the full recap of Monday’s game by clicking the link here.

After winning the first game of this two-game set, Ottawa is not expected to make any changes to their lineup that got the win two nights ago.
There is a chance we could see rookies, Jacob Bernard-Docker and Shane Pinto, make their NHL debuts tonight but considering they just got out of quarantine, there is a better chance they will make their debuts on Saturday against Montreal.
Anton Forsberg is expected to get the start in goal for the Sens after making 24 saves on 26 shots on Monday.
The Senators are expected to lineup like this:
Tkachuk-Norris-Batherson
Paul-White-Dadonov
Stützle-Amadio-Dzingel
Formenton-Tierney-Brown
Chabot-Zaitsev
Brannstrom-Zub
Mete-Brown
