"Pascal Leclaire, carrying some dreadful numbers after his two preseason games, gets his last chance tonight to claim the Ottawa Senators' No. 1 goaltending job.
He's probably going to need a big game to win over Senators coach Cory Clouston.
Leclaire has lost both of his starts, 4-2 to the Montreal Canadiens and 4-3 to the Toronto Maple Leafs, and has a 4.14 goals-against average and .867 save percentage.
While he has had his good moments, and while he really can't be blamed for most of the goals he has allowed, his numbers are decidedly unflattering.
Clouston said he'd like to start the season with his No. 1 goalie in net.
Leclaire could answer the question either way tonight. It might be time for him to hit the "on" switch.
Final Looks
With more cuts to be made after tonight's game (and announced Sunday morning), Clouston is getting his final looks at some of the players who have stood out during camp.
Jared Cowen and Patrick Wiercioch have attracted the most attention.
Clouston was anxious to see how Cowen handled himself against the Rangers."
