The Leafs have done a pretty good job grabbing points from the Ottawa Senators this season, getting three of a possible four in their two matchups. Tonight, they’re going to want just a little more; there’s going to be a chip on their shoulder for this one, with a mission in mind and redemption at stake.

Well, it looks like that’s it for Frank Corrado. Martin Marincin is healthy… enough and he’ll draw back into the lineup. This is a tricky one; it makes more logical sense to have the left-handed shot in, but it just feels weird that Corrado, once again, won’t have a chance to find a groove. He didn’t even have the same partner or even the same side all of last game, so it’s hard to throw too much crap on him.

But again; handedness matters a bit more, and I don’t think Marincin is as bad as he looked to start the season. The forwards remain the same.

The Sens are fully healthy as far as skaters go, with the exception of Clarke MacArthur, who was recently confirmed to be done for the season. That’s really sad; I like the guy and there’s a real chance that “done for the year” with this concussion might mean career-ending.

Frederik Andersen, who has been cold of late, will take on the Senators for the first time since opening night, where his five goals allowed threw away some of Auston Matthews’ four-tally shine.

On the other side, Mike Condon is coming in hot after shutting out the Blue Jackets. This wave needs to stop soon, right?
