James Reimer will make his second straight start for the Senators as they continue a three-game road swing with a stop in Columbus. The Senators have picked up points in four straight games but have dropped their last two decisions in overtime.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought he looked solid,\u201d said Travis Green about Reimer after the Senators practiced Tuesday morning. \u201cLooked in control, so hopefully he\u2019s got that same look to him tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ottawa and Columbus enter Tuesday\u2019s game with an identical 22-19-7 record, six points back of Buffalo for the final wildcard spot in the Eastern Conference. The game will mark their final meeting of the season as they both jostle for position in the playoff race.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, I don\u2019t think we change anything really,\u201d said Shane Pinto about the team\u2019s approach going into the game. \u201cIt\u2019s just another game, but obviously an important start, I think I say it every time. But getting them on their heels early I think is important, we\u2019ve got to be on our toes, hopefully have a good start and then just carry that into the second and third and just find a way.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pinto has scored twice and added five assists in 11 games since returning from a 10-game absence. He skated alongside Claude Giroux and Michael Amadio on Tuesday morning, a line that was a staple before Pinto was injured but has been split up lately.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think coming back from injury, it takes a couple games,\u201d said Pinto about getting back up to full speed. \u201cThen we got split up for a bit, now we\u2019re kind of back. Just trusting our reads, I think all three of us kind of have a smart way of playing the game, just kind of trusting that, and the results will come if you keep doing that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"James Reimer will make his second straight start for the Senators as they continue a three-game road swing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":422147,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,448,82],"class_list":["post-422146","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/422146","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=422146"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/422146\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/422147"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=422146"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=422146"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=422146"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
