Pittsburgh Penguins vs Ottawa Senators: Projected lineups, NHL starting goalies for today, 12th March, 2024

In the Eastern Conference, the Pittsburgh Penguins, currently seventh in the Metropolitan Division with a record of 28-27-8, are scheduled to face off against the Ottawa Senators, presently in eighth position in the Atlantic Division, with a record of 25-33-4.

The game is scheduled for Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET at the Canadian Tire.

The Penguins are coming off a 4-0 home loss against the Edmonton Oilers on March 10. This loss adds to their recent woes, and they now find themselves in a tight spot for a playoff spot.

But at the same time, the Senators, having completed their fly trip, came back home after a 2-1 loss to the San Jose Sharks on March 9th. Despite a small margin, they have extended their streak of losses, so it’s equally difficult for them.
