Trying to build off their best offensive performance of the season, the Detroit Red Wings look to further their momentum in Ottawa at the expense of the Senators on Saturday night.

The bump of adrenaline from a coaching change may be wearing off for Ottawa (14-14-6), which has dropped consecutive games and is 3-3-1 since Dave Cameron replaced the fired Paul MacLean on Dec. 8. The Senators outshot Washington 39-23, including 15-7 in the final 20 minutes, but Erik Condra's second-period goal was the only shot to beat Braden Holtby in Monday's 2-1 loss.

You can listen to the game on TSN Radio 1200 Ottawa starting at 5pm et/2pm pt.

Craig Anderson will start in net tonight as Robin Lehner (illness) was not on the ice this morning but will be the backup. 

Chris Phillips will be a healthy scratch tonight. 

"We all had a few chances, just nothing is going in," said forward Clark MacArthur, who has only one assist in his last nine games.

Ottawa has been held to two goals in its last two games after scoring 17 in Cameron's first five behind the bench.

Some of Cameron's system and principles have quickly taken hold, though, as the 52 shots allowed in the last two games are the fewest in any set of back-to-back games the Senators have played this season. Ottawa's minus-4.74 shots per game differential is fourth-worst in the league.

Detroit (18-8-9) had scored only six goals during a six-game losing streak in which it was able to scrape out four points via shootout losses. Those woes continued Tuesday versus Buffalo, but Danny DeKeyser's score late in the second period started a run of five unanswered goals - including three on the power play in the third period - as the Red Wings rallied for a 6-3 victory.

"These streaks happen," coach Mike Babcock said. "You like to think they're never going to happen and you try to do everything you can but sometimes the puck just doesn't go in the net.

"These chances we had tonight; we had the same chances the last game except they didn't go in the net," he said.

Tomas Tatar had two of those power-play goals in the final 20 minutes as Detroit cashed in 4 of 6 opportunities with the man advantage. That was one area immune to the Red Wings' struggles during their losing streak - they're 8 for 19 over the last six games, with seven players contributing at least one goal.

Center Stephen Weiss, who had Detroit's first power-play goal Tuesday, is expected to play despite leaving in the third period after taking a hit to the head from Buffalo's Nikita Zadorov. When healthy, Weiss has been a catalyst to the team's success - the Red Wings are 9-1-2 in the 12 games he's played and 6-1-0 when he registers a point.

"When he's been playing this year he's been really productive and we're really happy to see that," captain Henrik Zetterberg, who has three goals and nine assists in the games Weiss has played, told the team's official website.

The home team in this Atlantic Division rivalry has won both games this season, with the Red Wings holding off the Senators 4-3 on Nov. 24. Weiss had two goals in a 4:18 span of the second period and Detroit converted 2 of 6 chances on the power play.
