Lines, odds, how to watch vs. Senators

The Florida Panthers will play their first road game of the new season tonight when they take on the Ottawa Senators.

No, we’re not talking about the Ottawa captain Brady Tkachuk.

Nick Cousins is now a member of the Senators and will face his former Panthers teammates for the first time tonight.

Cousins ​​becomes the first former member of the Panthers to receive his Stanley Cup championship ring as he met some of his friends for dinner last night and was presented with his spectacular piece of jewelry.

And even though Cousins ​​has plenty of friends on the other side of the ice, he says he won’t hold back tonight.

The Panthers expect nothing less.

“It should be fun,” Cousins ​​said. “I told them last night that there are no deals. They know my game better than anyone and know that I will be looking forward to playing tonight. It’s Game 1…Really special, probably my favorite stop of my career. The coaches were great for me; The medical staff, training and equipment staff were great for me. Just the sight of it as I walked through the area today brought back many fond memories. There are relationships you build throughout your career, but when you win, those relationships are even more special.”

Coach said Paul Maurice: “His personality in our room, how he interacted with the players in the game and on the bench, certainly his game: I think he’s underestimated in terms of the way he thinks about the game and certainly his Hands.” He can make plays. And he did. We had a pretty good run through the Eastern Conference and he played on the second line. I’m happy for him. It was great to see him. I think he can make an impact, enjoy his time in Canada and be a really good veteran for a young team.”

— The Panthers will be without defenders Adam Boqvist after shooting a puck out of his face on a clearing shot in Tuesday’s opening win over the Bruins.

Boqvist wears a full face mask; Maurice said he might be able to travel to Buffalo on Saturday.

Nate Schmidt will make his Panthers debut in his place – and could get some power play time tonight.

— The starting goalkeepers: Sergei Bobrovsky vs. Linus Ullmark.

Bobrovsky (1-0) makes his second straight start with Spencer Knight, who was recalled after being left from the opening night roster due to salary cap concerns.

Ullmark will make his first start for the Senators after being signed to a deal with the Bruins in the offseason.

– Tonight’s game will be televised locally on the new South Florida Scripps Network, with pregame beginning at 6:30 p.m
