### Ottawa Senators @ Maple Leafs & Maple Leafs @ Ottawa Senators  
7:00 pm at Scotiabank Arena and Canadian Tire Centre  
Watch on SN1 for the home game and TSN 4,5 and NHLN for the away game

### 

Leafs region fans should find the TSN game (the away game) on TSN4, Ottawa region on TSN 5, and this is the game also on NHLN in the USA.

### Rosters

The home game is the top nine this time, with a full slate of NHL defenders and Artur Akhtyamov in a game with the man he still finds awe-inspiring, Sergei Bobrovsky.

The away game is led by the fourth line and some solid AHLers as well as Tinus Luc Koblar. The defence includes Emil Andrae and Nick Blankenburg who are contenting for spots in various ways. Blankenburg is still on a PTO. 

Anthony Stolarz is backed up by both of the other AHL goalies, so one wonders who will actually play, although I think a look at Samuel Hlavaj should be a priority. Ben Danford and Noah Chadwick, one of the top two pairs on the Marlies in all probability, should be paired up here.

### Lines

Actual lines will be posted closer to gametime, but there has been very little variation in camp, so expect exactly what you should expect.
