OTTAWA — Authentic Oliver Bjorkstrand Jersey , Craig Anderson will be back in goal for the Ottawa Senators when they entertain the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday night.Somewhat perplexing is that he left in the first place.The 37-year old Anderson helped the Senators to a point in their season-opening overtime loss to the Chicago Blackhawks, then made 34 saves as the Senators stole two from the Toronto Maple Leafs in a 5-3 victory a couple of nights later.Article continues below ...Thinking he had to get his backup some action, coach Guy Boucher gave the Monday afternoon start in Boston to Mike Condon, who grew up in nearby Holliston, Mass., and cheered for the beloved Bruins. The move backfired, however, as Condon was shaky in a 6-3 loss during which he made only 24 saves.Sharing as much of the blame was the Senators’ defense, a major area of concern after the trading of Erik Karlsson in the offseason. Boucher identifies Cody Ceci as his one “shutdown” blue liner, and he is a team-worst minus-4 on the season after being tagged with a minus-2 versus the Bruins.Not being able to have the last line hurt the Senators as Boston’s top line of David Pastrnak Ryan Murray Jersey , Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand combined for 11 points (five goals). The Senators will face another potent unit versus Philadelphia, which is led by the Claude Giroux–Sean Couturier-Jake Voracek line.“Every team has got a top line you’ve got to be careful of,” Ceci said after Tuesday’s practice. “They are a little different style. They’re maybe not as run-and-gun as the Boston line, but they’re all really smart players that are good with the puck. Voracek is a big guy. They’re definitely a line you’ve got to respect.”While the Senators are off to a 1-1-1 start, the Flyers are 1-2-0 and will be smarting when they arrive in Ottawa, fresh off a home-opening, 8-2 pummelling at the hands of the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday.Brian Elliott, a former Senator, gave up all eight goals while making 40 saves.“We (stunk). I feel so (bleeping) bad for (Elliott),” said defenseman Shayne Gotisbehere Sergei Bobrovsky Jersey , per phillynews.com. “We left him hung out to dry. I mean, it’s a little ridiculous.”The Flyers, who hadn’t allowed eight goals in a game since 2011, were down 4-0 after the first period.“I just think we played like (crap) tonight,” said captain Claude Giroux, per NHL.com. “The score shows it. (Elliott) played a good game. He didn’t deserve that, and it’s on us.”Expected to make his Flyers debut in Ottawa is goalie Calvin Pickard, who was claimed off waivers from the Toronto Maple Leafs.Looking to score his first goal of the season on his former Colorado Avalanche teammate will be Matt Duchene, who co-led the Senators in goals last season with 23 but has only two assists to show for his efforts in 2018-19.“The first one’s always the hardest to get,” Duchene said. “Yeah Womens Seth Jones Jersey , you get a little anxious. Maybe a little bit. But you know it’s going to come at some point, and for me it’s just getting that feeling of seeing it go in the net and then it just snow balls.” DETROIT — The Ottawa Senators will likely have left winger Bobby Ryan back when they face the Detroit Red Wings on Friday night.Ryan, 31, who has six goals and 18 points in 29 games, has missed three games with a concussion.“It’s a concussion thing, so the minute he’s cleared (he’ll play), and he’s doing really good,” Senators coach Guy Boucher told the Ottawa Sun after the team arrived in Detroit on Wednesday. “So if his baseline is clear, then that’s a clear one and, hopefully Sonny Milano Jersey , we get good news from that.Article continues below ...“Of course, that’s what I’m hoping. But what I’m hoping and what’s reality is often not the same. From what I hear, things are going good, I just have to wait to see now if they have taken the last step.”Ottawa (13-15-4) is also without veteran forwards Matt Duchene and Jean-Gabriel Pageau, and defensemen Mark Borowiecki and Dylan DeMelo because of injuries.“Whenever you get guys like that back, it also gives the young guys a bit more breathing room because they don’t feel the pressure is on them,” Boucher said. “It’s a fine line between giving them ice and responsibilities. Sometimes they have too much.“You’ve got to navigate it, but it’s hard to do when you’ve got that many guys injured; it’s actually impossible to do when you have that many guys injured, and that’s where we’re at. When you get guys back who can sustain what you’re doing, it’s hard for the opponent and it’s easier for you. It’s a double effect.”The Red Wings (14-14-4) have been struggling on the power play. They have converted only 2-of-31 power plays in their past 14 games http://www.officialbluejackets.com/authentic-adidas-zach-werenski-jersey , which is a big dip from their first 18 games (13-of-54).“The one hard thing about our power play is we don’t get very many of them, so then it’s hard to get any kind of rhythm,” Detroit coach Jeff Blashill told www.mlive.com.He tried using centers Dylan Larkin and Frans Nielsen on the same unit in Tuesday night’s 6-2 road loss to the Washington Capitals.“Moving Larks (Larkin) into that bumper spot and moving (Andreas Athanasiou) to the half-wall spot, where it’s more run through him as opposed to running the other side and being a one-timer, we’re hoping to get some chemistry going.” Blashill said.The Red Wings have had only one power play in each of their past two games and 85 for the season. They had 106 through 32 games in 2017-18.“We’ve been in a lot of games where there hasn’t been a whole lot called,” Blashill said. “Since the beginning of the year, when we were leading the league in power plays given up, we’ve been in lots of games after that where there hasn’t been much called either way. Do I sense it’s relaxing? I don’t know. I think every game takes a life of its own. I can’t say sit there and say a bunch of games they’ve missed lots of calls on either side. They generally do a real good job. Maybe it’s just the way the game has been.”Defensemen Mike Green and Jonathan Ericsson didn’t practice Thursday. Blashill said they are both banged up and questionable for Friday night. Detroit is carrying two extra defensemen, Luke Witkowski and Brian Lashoff.
