The Senators have signed Tyler Ennis to a one-year contract worth $900K.
Ennis was in Senators' training camp on a PTO and earned a one-year deal. On Thursday, the Senators also announced that Colin White will be out 4-to-6 months, which made signing Ennis a necessity. Ennis had three goals and six assists (nine points) in 30 games with the Oilers last year.

The Oilers have signed Tyler Tullio to a three-year, entry-level contract.

Line Change
Clifton will draw into the Bruins lineup for Game 2 vs. Washington.

Krebs is out indefinitely after undergoing surgery to repair a fractured jaw on Sunday.
Krebs (face) is not expected to play Monday.
The Golden Knights have not released any information on Krebs' status after he was shut in the face by a pick on Saturday. However, there's a report that he's expected to miss an extended period of time, so it seems highly unlikely that he'll play Monday.
Luukkonen (lower-body) will miss the rest of the season.
Luukkonen suffered a lower-body injury in his fourth NHL appearance and will miss the final week of the 2021 season. Luukkonen will be targeting a full-time gig with the Sabres in 2021-22.
