There will be a rematch in goal when the Ottawa Senators and Buffalo Sabres when they face off in the Queen City Friday night.

Craig Anderson and Jhonas Enroth, who dueled to a 3-2 Buffalo win last week in Ottawa, will be back between the pipes at the First Niagara Center.

Enroth, who remains undefeated this season at 4-0-0, turned aside 25 shots in the contest, while Craig Anderson stopped 31.

With Anderson playing tonight, there’s a chance Alex Auld could get the call Saturday against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Other notes from the Senators’ morning skate Friday:

— As expected, Daniel Alfredsson will be back in the lineup after missing five with a concussion.

— Head coach Paul MacLean confirmed that Chris Neil, who didn’t travel with the team this season, has a sprained ankle. There’s no timetable for his return.

Here’s how the Senators lined up this morning:

Michalek — Spezza — Greening
Foligno — Da Costa — Alfredsson
Condra — Smith — Daugavins
Konopka — Winchester — Butler

Kuba — Karlsson
Cowen — Gonchar
Phillips — Rundblad
