Craig Anderson will get the nod on Saturday.
Anderson will attempt to rebound after allowing two goals on four shots over the course of just 3:49 minutes before being pulled on Tuesday. He has a 2.99 GAA and .908 save percentage in 51 games this season.
Chris Phillips netted his first two goals of the season in his 1,000th career game on Thursday.
In one night, Phillips surpassed his 2010-11 goal total. Phillips is regarded as a defensive defenseman and only has fantasy value in leagues that use hits and blocked shots as categories.
Alex Auld allowed three goals on 27 shots in the Senators' 4-3 win over the Predators Thursday night.
Craig Anderson needed a little break tonight. In fact, Ottawa's number one goalie didn't play for the first time in 23 games. Auld is a decent backup that knows his role and is content with it. He is a good team guy that understands the role of a back-up goaltender in the NHL. He can be called upon to start a string of games if need be but should not be on anyone's fantasy radar.
Jason Spezza scored twice and also registered an assist in the Senators' 4-3 win over the Nashville Predators Thursday night.
It was a huge win for the Sens who ended a seven-game losing streak. Spezza has managed to maintain a roughly point-per-game pace all season and we don't see him slowing down. The 28-year-old center leads the Senators with 54 points in 57 games this season.
Brian Lee is projected to return to Ottawa's lineup on Thursday night from a lower-body injury.
He has sat put the last 11 games with the ailment. Lee has contributed five assists and 23 penalty minutes in 28 matches with the Senators this season.
Alexander Auld will be between the pipes for the struggling Ottawa Senators on Thursday night when the club hosts Nashville.
The Senators have lost their past seven games (0-6-1) and Craig Anderson was in goal for the start of all those affairs. It will mark Auld's first start since lasting one period against Calgary back on Dec. 30.
Milan Michalek has gone 11 consecutive games without scoring a goal.
He hasn't been the same since returning from a concussion in late December with four goals and four helpers in 20 contests. Michalek has 23 goals on the year, but he'll need to rediscover his groove if he wants to crack 30 for the first time in his career.
Zambia has won the African Cup of Nations, beating pre-tournament favorite Ivory Coast 8-7 on penalties in a dramatic final at Stade de l'Amitie.
Wesseling: Each NFL team enters the offseason with a series of pressing needs. Sometimes a team can address them all, sometimes they ignore them all. But if a team's smart, they'll listen to us. These are the most crucial aspects for AFC teams.
