Forsberg joins Filip Gustavsson in protocol, which left the Senators with no goalies in Monday's practice. They recalled Matt Murray from the AHL on Tuesday and he would be in-line to start Friday if Forsberg and Gustavsson are unavailable.
Turcotte was the No.5 overall pick in 2019 and is set to make his NHL debut vs. the Golden Knights on Tuesday. Turcotte, who has scored six goals with 15 assists (21 points) in 32 AHL games this season, entered the second line with Trevor Moore and Viktor Arvidsson in Monday's practice.
The Canadiens' COVID-19 list grew to nine players, one day ahead of Tuesday's game in Tampa. Edmundson was already on IR and has not played a game this season.
Anderson missed Tuesday's game in Tampa Bay with a non-COVID illness but is expected to be back in on Thursday. Anderson has just one assist in 26 games this season.
Edler was hurt early in Saturday's game vs. the Wild after going down very awkwardly. Edler could not put any weight on his leg as he was leaving the field, so it's not a surprise that he landed on IR. Christian Wolanin was recalled from the AHL to take Edler's spot on the roster.
Armia missed the last two games with an undisclosed injury but is expected to replace Jake Evans (undisclosed) in the lineup on Saturday. Armia has one goal and four assists in 26 games this season.
Ceci has missed the last four games in COVID-19 protocol but was activated and is expected to play Thursday. Ceci has one goal and five assists (six points) in 20 games this season.
