The flyers are heading to Ottawa to face the Senators tonight. They will be looking for a point in an 8th straight game after a great shootout win over the Washington Capitals on Wednesday.

The Flyers are playing two games in 24 hours as they play the Senators tonight and the Islanders tomorrow at home. Carter Hart got the start for Philly in Wednesday's victory and will start again tonight despite the back-to-back games. Expect Brian Elliott to be in front of the net tomorrow against the Isles.

Coach Vigneault's lineup will look about the same as it has over the past few weeks. The top line composed of James van Riemsdyk, Claude Giroux and Joel Farabee will stay intact. Jakub Voracek will stay on the third line alongside Kevin Hayes and Carsen Twarynski.

On defence, Ivan Provorov and Matt Niskanen will still be fforming the first pair, while Shayne Gostibehere and Justin Braun compete the defensive top-4.

Here is the Flyers' projected lineup for tonight's game agiant the Senators in Ottawa according to NHL.com correspondent Callum Fraser:

Forwards:

James van Riemsdyk - Claude Giroux - Joel Farabee

Oskar Lindblom - Sean Couturier - Travis Konecny

Carsen Twarynski - Kevin Hayes - Jakub Voracek

Andy Andreoff - Michael Raffl - Tyler Pitlick

Defensemen:

Ivan Provorov - Matt Niskanen

Shayne Gostisbehere - Justin Braun

Travis Sanheim - Philippe Myers

Goaltenders:

Carter Hart

Brian Elliott

Chris Stewart and Robert Hagg will be sidelined tonight as healthy scratches. Nolan Patrick and Scott Laughton are still recovering from injury.

It's no secret that the Ottawa Senators are a rebuilding team who has issues with winning consistently. That being said, the Sens will be looking for a fourth victory in five games tonight. They will come out strong and hungry.

It should be a great Hockey game!
