Back home at last

Posted by Gord Wilson on April 4, 2009

Hi everyone and greetings from Scotiabank Place, where the Senators have returned to host the Flyers tonight. First home game since March 21 for the Senators ... they've played their last six games on the road, a split trip that saw the team win in New York against the Rangers, then return home for a day before heading out again for five straight. Ottawa's last game was a 2-1 loss in Boston on Thursday. Alex Auld was the main bright spot for the Senators ... he stopped 31 shots and was named the game's second star.

Coach Cory Clouston will put Auld right back in the net tonight. And Christoph Schubert will return to the lineup after being a healthy scratch the last three games. Shean Donovan will come out.

The Flyers are coming off an 8-5 win over the Leafs last night. Flyers right now are sitting fourth in the Eastern Conference with 94 points.
