Cory Clouston is hoping to have both Mike Fisher and Filip Kuba back in the lineup tonight, as the Ottawa Senators visit the Atlanta Thrashers.

The Senators head coach listed them both as "probable" for the game, after each player participated in an optional skate at Philips Arena on Thursday morning.

However, when speaking to reporters later, Kuba admitted he would be more of a game-time decision. He has missed the past six games with a lower body injury.

Brian Elliott will start in goal for the Senators, who have lost six of seven games since the Olympic break.
