Load up the top two lines with our best players and split up Kleven and Spence as a D pair cause that pair was awful last night. Either move Jensen on the off wing to play with Spence middle pair or put him on his right side bottom pair with Kleven. Also with Pinto out that line hasn't been buzzing so I think they can split that line up until Pinto is back Amadio and Greig have chemistry on that line from last season and I think Zetterlund could add to that line as well
Can anyone explain why we haven't ran the Sanderson Spence pairing in pre season to see if it works? No idea why we haven't. We seem to waste preseason and make obvious lineup changes too late. Reminds me of dj Smith. Sanderson – Spence Kleven – Zub Matinpalo – Jensen
But it is tougher as the schedule tougher is to win. Hope it’s just a tough stretch, but there are shades of 2018 where they fell off a cliff. I feel like 2026 is a fall off cliff year.

It’s a new day. Get a win and turn the ship around.
Sens need to go all in with their lineup tomorrow. Something like this:
Tkachuk-Stutzle-Giroux
Perron-Cozens-Batherson
Amadio-Greig-Zetterlund
Cousins-Eller-Halliday
Sanderson-Zub
Jensen-Spence
Kleven-Matinpalo

Yakemchuck in. Dman + one forward traded for a better forward.

Sanderson – Spence
Kleven – Zub
Matinpalo – Jensen
They play well for the most part but one or two mistakes cost them points. No more giveaways cough Spence.
"Have we played well enough to win?" Obviously no.
rebuild, let some of them go so they can play on a good team, not fair to them to play on a bottom 5 team.
