Sens v. Flyers game notes

The Sens play the Flyers tonight in Ottawa, game time is 7:00, the game is on Rogers 22 in Ottawa. According to James Gordon's Hockey Capital blog, the forward lines will be as follows:

Heatley-Spezza-Winchester
Kelly-Vermette-Alfredsson
Foligno-Bass-Neil
Smith-Mauldin-Carkner

Volchenkov-Bell
Kuba-Smith
Lee-Richardson

No word yet on the defence pairings, but I'll post those when I come across them (EDIT: Posted). As I said yesterday, Martin Gerber will be playing the full 60 minutes, and the Ottawa Sun reports that he will be wearing his 'The Gerber Strikes Back' mask.

Both Mike Fisher and Alexandre Picard will be out of the lineup for injuries. Both are reported to be precautionary.

This morning the Sens also made some moves, sending seven players down to the Binghamton training camp. Included in the demotion are goalie Jeff Glass, d-men Mattias Karlsson, and forwards Danny Bois, Josh Hennessy, Alexander Nikulin, Ryan Shannon, and Ilya Zubov. No real surprises there, although I won't be at all surprised if Zubov is very high on the list if the Sens run into injury problems.
