UPDATE: Hostetter, Luciani out again; Owen in goal

The Erie Otters will play short-handed for the second straight game. Defenseman Tyler Hostetter (undisclosed injury) and rookie winger Anthony Luciani (two-game, OHL-imposed suspension) join forward Andrew Yogan (concussion), defenseman Robyn Sertic (concussion) and winger Michael Liambas (hip) on the scratch list for tonight's game against Ottawa.
Luciani is eligible to return for Sunday's game against Plymouth at Tullio Arena. He earned an automatic two-game suspension for a game misconduct last weekend in Plymouth.
Meanwhile, Shane Owen earns the start in goal tonight. Jaroslav Janus, who stopped 36-of-38 shots Friday against London in his first start in nearly three weeks, will be the backup.
Janus needed a day off after his lengthy absence. "I'm really happy I'm back," Janus said. "I felt OK (against London). We played well." Janus said his knee feels fine.
"I hope I play tomorrow," he said.
