Hodgson has been suspended for two games for boarding Los Angeles’ Brandt Clarke.
Line Change
The Senators have placed Warren Foegele (knee) on IR.
Burakovsky (lower-body) left Thursday’s game vs. Los Angeles and did not return.
Burakovsky has already missed six games this season and could miss more after exiting Thursday's game after only 4:54 time-on-ice. When Ottawa acquired Burakovsky in the offseason, the team hoped he could return to the 61-point player he was in the 2021-22 season, but so far the 31-year-old has been in and out of the lineup, struggling to find his place. Burakovsky has zero points in eight games.
Foegele (undisclosed) is out on Thursday and is expected to miss an extended period of time.
The Senators have not released details about Foegele's injury, but he will be out for the foreseeable future, beginning with Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Kings. The 30-year-old forward is averaging 12:06 time-on-ice and has four points (1G / 3A) in 13 games this season.
Chabot (upper-body) will return in Los Angeles on Thursday.
Chabot has missed the past four games with an upper-body injury, but will return on Thursday against the Los Angeles Kings. The 29-year-old Chabot is averaging 25:20 time-on-ice and has four points (1G / 3A) in nine games this season. Carter Yakemchuk will be a healthy scratch to accommodate Chabot's return.
Yakemchuk will be a healthy scratch in Los Angeles on Thursday.
Thomas Chabot (upper body) will re-enter the lineup on Thursday, resulting in Yakemchuk being a healthy scratch. Yakemchuk, the seventh overall pick in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft, has shown some promise, but has yet to establish himself at the NHL level fully. He has three points (1G / 2A) and a -6 plus/minus in 13 games this season.
Goalie Start
Johansson will start in Los Angeles on Thursday.
With Linus Ullmark (lower body) expected to miss another week, the Senators will continue to roll with Samuel Ersson and Jonas Johansson, turning to Johansson on Thursday against the Los Angeles Kings. The 31-year-old Johansson was solid in Ottawa's previous game, saving 25 of 27 shots (.926 SV%) in a 4-1 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights. The Senators enter Thursday's game as -116 road favourites against a low-scoring Kings team that scored fewer than two goals in six of their last nine games (3-5-1).
Chabot (upper body) is expected to return on Thursday.
Chabot has missed the past four games with an upper-body injury, but should be ready to return on Thursday against the Los Angeles Kings. The 29-year-old Chabot is averaging 25:20 time-on-ice and has four points (1G / 3A) in nine games this season.
Goalie Start
Johansson will start in Vegas on Tuesday.
With Linus Ullmark (lower body) expected to miss another week, the Senators will continue to roll with Samuel Ersson and Jonas Johansson, turning to Johansson on Tuesday against the Vegas Golden Knights. The 31-year-old was far from stellar in his only outing this season, allowing four goals on 28 shots (.857 SV%) in a 7-4 loss to the New York Rangers. The Senators enter Tuesday's game as +139 road underdogs against a Vegas Golden Knights team that has scored only three goals in its past two games (0-1-1).
Chabot (upper-body) returned to Ottawa's practice in a regular jersey on Monday.
Chabot has missed the past three games with an upper-body injury, but was back at practice on Monday. It is unclear if he will be ready to suit up on Tuesday against the Vegas Golden Knights. The 29-year-old Chabot is averaging 25:20 time-on-ice and has four points (1G / 3A) in nine games this season.
MacDermid has been loaned to Belleville (AHL).
Chabot (upper-body) will travel with and is expected to return during Ottawa's upcoming road trip.
Goalie Start
Johansson will start vs. the Rangers on Saturday.
Goalie Start
Johansson was the first goalie off the ice at Ottawa's morning skate.
Line Change
Hodgson is expected to be a healthy scratch vs. the Rangers on Saturday.
Burakovsky is expected to draw back in vs. New York on Saturday.
Ullmark (lower-body) is expected to be out for 1-2 weeks.
Ullmark exited Ottawa's previous game in the third period with a lower-body injury and will miss at least one week before he is eligible to be activated from Injured Reserve. The 33-year-old Swedish goalie has had a terrific start this season, posting a dazzling 1.33 GAA and .945 SV% in eight games (7-1-0). Expect Sam Ersson to get most of the action while Ullmark's out. Ottawa also recalled Jonas Johansson from Belleville (AHL) in a corresponding move.
