Players to Watch
Philadelphia — Tyson Foerster — the 2020 first rounder is having a career year with 24 goals this year; and 7 of them came in the last 5 games skated.
Ottawa — David Perron — Bill Masterton Trophy Nominee — Ottawa Senators’ forward David Perron has been nominated for the Bill Masterton Trophy. Perron, 36, has skated in 40 games with the Senators this season.
On October 27, Perron and his wife Vanessa’s fourth child, Elizabeth, was born and had to undergo surgery to remove a mass on her right lung that, if left untreated, could have potentially caused a heart attack. Following the birth of his daughter, Perron took an 11-game leave from the team to focus on his family. Perron returned to play four games with the Senators before being sidelined by a back injury that kept him out of the lineup for two months until January 23.
Predicted Final Score
PHI — 1
OTT — 4
