Hyman was scratched from the lineup on Thursday but will replace Nic Petan and draw back into the lineup on Saturday. Hyman will likely be back on the second line with John Tavares and William Nylander and comes in with 10 points (4G / 6A) in 17 games this season.




Kulak was in the lineup for five straight games but will make way for Victor Mete to get some playing time on Saturday.


Ekholm was hurt Tuesday vs. the Lightning and did not return for the third period. Head coach John Hynes told a local radio station that Ekholm is week-to-week, so expect him to miss at least a couple of weeks.

The Predators cited "baby reasons" for why he missed Monday's game but he is expected to be back in the lineup on Tuesday. Expect Ekholm to replace Jared Tinordi on the blueline.





Bouchard was the No.10 overall pick in 2018 and appeared in seven games with the Oilers in 2018-19. The 21-year-old, who had 36 points (7G / 29A) in 54 games with Bakersfield (AHL) last year, will make his season debut vs. the Senators and is expected to skate on the third pair with Kris Russell.




Roslovic did not have to go through the same visa issues as Patrik Laine or the same quarantine, since he never reported to Winnipeg. Roslovic, who had 29 points (12G / 17A) in 71 games last season, will centre a line with Cam Atkinson and Boone Jenner in his debut.


Accompanying his trade back to his hometown is a fresh two-year deal for the previously unsigned RFA. Roslovic will have to undergo a mandatory 14-day quarantine following this trade but should make his Blue Jackets debut sometime in early-February.
