Lehner allowed four goals on 41 shots in a loss to the Flyers on Tuesday. WIth Craig Anderson 1-6 in his last seven, the Senators will give Lehner a shot tonight.

In four starts this season Lehner has made 45-plus saves on three separate occasion. He has seen a ton of rubber and has posted a .938 SV% in the process - that being said he has not chalked up a victory yet. The matchup vs. the Blue Jackets is a strong one, and he should be worth an add while Anderson is day-to-day.
