EDGE Analysis

Methot missed the last nine games of the regular season while recovering from a hand injury, and he'll now need to wait for Saturday's Game 2 for his next chance to return to to Ottawa's lineup. With Methot unavailable Wednesday, Fredrik Claesson will skate with Erik Karlsson on the Senators' top pairing against Boston.
