Ottawa will have Craig Anderson back in goal after its 6-3 loss to Boston on Monday when Mike Condon made 24 saves, but allowed five goals. The Senators' defense as a whole was weak and the team has allowed 13 goals in three games. Philadelphia also comes off a big loss to San Jose and the Flyers experienced problems defensively themselves and goalie Brian Elliott gave up eight goals while saving 40 shots. Calvin Pickard is expected in goal tonight and he'll be making his first appearance with the Flyers after having been claimed off waivers from Toronto. The Senators are 1-6 their last seven home games going back to last season and 7-20 their last 27 games after a loss by at least three goals. Also, Ottawa has lost 20 of its last 28 against Metropolitan Division teams and 37-of-55 versus Eastern Conference teams. Look for Philly to bounce back from Tuesday's performance as it's 11-4 its last 15 games against teams with losing records dating to last season. Play the Flyers.
