The Ottawa Senators will not make any changes to their lineup from Saturday\u2019s win over the New York Rangers as they roll into T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Tuesday night looking for their third win in their last four games.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re playing a team that\u2019s going to be ready to play. They\u2019ve lost three in a row,\u201d Senators head coach Travis Green said following the team’s optional skate in Las Vegas.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone knows that this building is a tough building to play in. They\u2019re going to be ready, we\u2019re going to have to be ready, and it\u2019s going to be two good teams going at it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Green also confirmed that Jonas Johansson would make his second consecutive start in goal for the Senators.<\/p>\n
One line that has found success over the past handful of games was the second line of Warren Foegele, Dylan Cozens, and Drake Batherson. Batherson and Cozens combined for four goals and six points on Saturday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI think we\u2019ve been playing a simple game, getting in on the forecheck, using our bodies to be physical and get pucks back, and just try and grind in the O-zone and get pucks around the net, and it\u2019s been working, I\u2019ve liked playing with those guys a lot,\u201d said Cozens.<\/p>\n
Cozens acknowledged that his offensive production had been slow to arrive \u2014 his goal Saturday was his first of the year \u2014 but said he had tried to contribute in other ways while remaining patient.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think I\u2019ve had some good games, and obviously the production hasn\u2019t been there and I know I need to be better in that sense, but I think I\u2019ve helped contribute in other ways, and I just try not to get too frustrated throughout a little slump like that. Obviously, we were winning games, so that was the main focus.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Ottawa Senators will not make any changes to their lineup from Saturday\u2019s win over the New York…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":949034,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194295],"tags":[49,48,20739],"class_list":["post-949033","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ottawa","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-ottawa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/949033","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=949033"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/949033\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/949034"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=949033"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=949033"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=949033"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
