Anderson will start on Saturday in Toronto.

Anderson stopped 26 of 27 shots that he faced in the Senators 2-1 win over Buffalo in their season opener. He draws another great matchup tonight against a Maple Leafs team who have scored just one goal through their first two games. Anderson had a 3.41 GAA and .901 SV% in two games vs. Toronto last year, but this is not the same Maple Leafs team.

MacArthur (undisclosed) is on the ice for warmups.

MacAthur was listed as a game-time decision, but he is on the ice for warmups, so it appears as if he will play. MacArthur, who is expected to skate on the Senators third line with J.G Pageau and Milan Michalek, is coming off of a season where he had 36 points (16G / 20A) in 62 games last season.

MacArthur (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision on Thursday.

MacArthur’s practicing has been sporadic this week, but he was on the ice for the morning skate and he is listed as a game-time decision. MacArthur said there is a 50/50 chance that he plays tonight. Monitor his status when the teams hit the ice for warmups at 6:30 pm ET.

MacArthur (undisclosed) is questionable for the Senators’ season opener.

MacArthur has missed the last two practices, including this morning’s, and head coach Dave Cameron said he “isn’t sure MacArthur will play tomorrow.” With MacArthur out, Mike Hoffman is playing on the top-line and Curtis Lazar has been bumping into the top six.

Anderson made 47 saves on 49 shots in the Senators 2-1 OT loss in Game 3.

Perron will not play this afternoon because of an illness.

There was no word prior to warmups that Perron was dealing with an illness, but he will sit this afternoon, so Patric Hornqvist will replace him on the first line. Perron has no points and is a minus-5 in his last five games. Monitor Perron’s status prior to Sunday’s contest.
