Derek MacKenzie is questionable for tonight’s game with a sore foot. MacKenzie has missed a lot of games of late. We believe he got hurt after blocking some shots against Montreal on Tuesday. Al Montoya is in net tonight. After a game where Montoya struggled a bit against Toronto although on one goal it was clearly Goalie Interference and NHL Operations said no. This is the last road game for the Cats. If D-Mac is unable to play then Quinton Howden should replace him. Erik Gudbranson does not have a concussion but is in Florida missing the game against his hometown team. The Senators will start Craig Anderson tonight who has played exceptional against his former team. The Senators will be without Dion Phaneuf who they acquired in a big trade with province rival Toronto. Bobby Ryan will be back in the lineup.
