NHL.com Preview:
Coach Dave Cameron told the Senators website forward Bobby Ryan (hand) and defenseman Cody Ceci (upper body) are questionable against Florida. The two were injured in the 5-2 road loss against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday. Cameron also said goalie Craig Anderson will likely start against the Panthers, but the decision was not set in stone. (More)
