Line Change
Roussel will be a healthy scratch on Saturday.
The Coyotes have acquired Antoine Roussel, Jay Beagle, Loui Eriksson, the No.9 overall pick in the 2021 NHL Draft, a 2022 second-round pick and a 2022 seventh-round pick from the Canucks for Conor Garland and Oliver Ekman-Larsson.
Roussel has one year left at $3.0M AAV and was one of three bad contracts moved to Arizona in this deal, however, they all only have one year left. Roussel had just four points (1G / 3A) in 35 games last year and will almost certainly play a minimal role for the Coyotes in 2021-22.
Line Change
Tierney will be scratched on Wednesday.
Tierney has appeared in all 55 games this season but will be scratched in the season finale vs. the Maple Leafs. Tierney has been ice-cold lately, scoring just one goal with one assist in his last 12 games. Logan Brown will make his NHL debut replacing Tierney in the Senators' bottom-6.
Roussel (lower-body) will miss a couple of weeks.

Roussel will come out of the Canucks lineup on Monday.
The Senators have signed Chris Tierney to a two-year extension worth $7.0 million ($3.5M AAV).
Tierney is a solid two-way veteran that has averaged 13 goals and 31 assists (41 points) over the last three seasons. He's a valuable player for the Senators because he can play centre or the wing and can play up and down their lineup. The two-year deal will also allow the Senators to expose him in the Seattle expansion draft.
Roussel (knee) will make his season debut on Tuesday.
Roussel missed the first 28 games of the season but is set to play Tuesday vs. the Senators. Roussel, who had one assist in two games with Utica (AHL) during his conditioning stint, will skate on the Canucks' third line with Adam Gaudette and Nikolay Goldobin.
The Canucks have sent Antoine Roussel to Utica (AHL) on a conditioning loan.
Roussel has been sidelined by a knee injury since mid-March, so he'll go to Utica to get back up to game speed before making his season debut with the Canucks. Roussel played pretty well in his first season with the Canucks, totalling a career-high with 31 points (9G / 22A) in 65 games.
Tierney (illness) will draw back into the Senators lineup on Saturday.
Tierney (illness) will not play Thursday.
Roussel will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury.
Roussel suffered a knee injury against the Rangers on Wednesday and will miss the rest of the 2019 campaign according to head coach Travis Green. Roussel’s injury leaves a hole on the top line next to Bo Horvat, likely to be filled by Nikolay Goldobin or Jake Virtanen.
Roussel (illness) will be a game-time decision on Saturday.
Roussel is battling an illness so his status for Saturday's game vs. the Islanders is up in the air. Zack MacEwen will replace Roussel if he can't play.
Roussel (shoulder) is on the ice for warmups; expected to play vs. Dallas.
Roussel (concussion) has been activated from IR and will play on Saturday.
