With Linus Ullmark (back) still sidelined, Forsberg will return to the crease for a second consecutive game on Tuesday against the Detroit Red Wings. Forsberg struggled in his return to action on Friday, allowing four goals on 25 shots (.840 SV%) in a 4-0 loss to the St. Louis Blues. The 32-year-old netminder has a 3.04 GAA and .885 SV% in 12 games this season (4-7-0). The Senators enter Tuesday's contest as -114 road favorites against a Red Wings club riding a four-game winning streak.

Burroughs has been used sparingly this season, often rostered as a seventh defenseman. The 29-year-old is averaging only 5:44 time-on-ice in his last 12 games, scoring one point (0G / 1A) in the process.

Helenius did not play the previous game for the Kings but has been recalled from the Ontario Reign (AHL). The 22-year-old Helenius, in his first NHL season, is averaging 8:33 time-on-ice and has two points (0G / 2A) in 21 games.

On the tail end of a back-to-back, a night after losing 4-2 to the Dallas Stars, the Senators will turn to Forsberg between the pipes on Friday against the St. Louis Blues. Forsberg has not played since December 8th, missing time due to a lower-body injury. The 32-year-old Forsberg has been inconsistent in limited action this season, posting a mediocre 2.95 GAA and .889 SV% despite recording two shutouts in 11 appearances (4-6-0). The Senators enter Friday's contest as +100 road underdogs against a St. Louis Blues club coming off a 6-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks.

Forsberg will serve as the backup to Leevi Merilainen on Thursday against the Dallas Stars after being sidelined for the past three weeks. Mads Sogaard was loaned to the Belleville Senators (AHL) to accommodate Forsberg's return.

Kuemper has two wins in his last four games despite posting a save percentage above .900 once through those four starts. He will look to remain in the win column on Wednesday as he hosts Jake Allen and the New Jersey Devils. The 34-year-old Kuemper was acquired from Washington in the offseason and has excelled in his first campaign in Los Angeles with his 9-2-5 record, 2.43 GAA and .910 SV%. Kuemper's opponent, New Jersey is on the back end of a back-to-back and is looking to snap their current two-game losing skid despite being second in the Metropolitan Division.

Walker Duehr will draw into the lineup on Tuesday against the Vancouver Canucks, sending Kuzmenko to the press box as a healthy scratch. Kuzmenko has struggled to produce this season, scoring only 10 points (1G / 9A) in 29 games this season. He has only one point (0G / 1A) in his last 13 games.

Lee made his NHL debut this season, scoring two points (0G / 2A) in 17 games with the Kings. The 24-year-old has spent most of the previous three seasons in the AHL with the Ontario Reign, including scoring two points (1G / 1A) in four games this season.

The Linus Ullmark (upper body) also sidelined from Friday's practice, Ottawa has recalled Mads Sogaard and Leevi Merilainen from Belleville (AHL). The 32-year-old Forsberg has a 2.95 GAA and .889 SV% in 11 games this season (4-6-0).
