Goalie Start
Forsberg led the Senators onto the ice for warmups.
The Canadiens have added Joel Armia to the COVID-19 protocol list.
Armia and Cole Caufield were added to the COVID-19 protocol list on Tuesday, so look for Michael Pezzetta and someone from the taxi squad to enter the lineup in Dallas.
Goalie Start
Kuemper starts Monday vs. the Wild.
Brown (non-COVID illness) will draw into the Blues lineup on Monday.
Brown missed two games with a non-COVID illness but is set to play Monday vs. the Predators. Brown, who has six points (3G / 3A) in 15 games since joining the Blues, will centre the third line with Brandon Saad and David Perron on his wings on Monday.
Kempe was added to the COVID-19 protocol list on Sunday.
Kempe likely will not be available for Monday's in San Jose after being added to the COVID-19 protocol list on Sunday afternoon. Samuel Fagemo replaced Kempe on the top line in Sunday's practice.
Foegele has cleared COVID-19 protocol and may play Saturday.
Foegele was one of three players activated from COVID-19 protocol on Saturday but only one of the three will play. The other two were Tyler Benson and Slater Koekkoek, so Foegele seems like the likely choice to play.

Turcotte cleared COVID-19 protocol and is expected to play Monday vs. the Rangers.
Turcotte missed two games while in COVID-19 protocol but was on the ice for Sunday's practice and is expected to be back in the Kings lineup on Monday. Turcotte, is still looking for his first career NHL point, will centre the third line with Dustin Brown and Rasmus Kupari/Martin Frk on his wings.
Panarin cleared COVID-19 protocol and is expected to play Monday in Los Angeles.
Panarin missed the last four games while in COVID-19 protocol but was back at practice on Sunday and is expected to play Monday vs. the Kings. The Rangers managed to go 3-1-0 without Panarin but his return will obviously be a very welcomed addition to the top-6 and PP1. Panarin has registered 10 goals and 26 assists (36 points) in 31 games this season.

Turcotte and Alex Iafallo entered COVID-19 protocol on Monday, leading to Rasmus Kupari replacing him as the Kings' No.3 centre in Wednesday's practice. Expect Turcotte to miss one or two games and could return to the AHL upon being activated.

The Rangers have added Artemi Panarin to the COVID-19 protocol list.
The Senators added Anton Forsberg to the COVID-19 protocol list on Monday (Dec.27).
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.
