Zetterlund failed to record a point in his first three NHL games and played just 4:49 TOI on Wednesday. He was a healthy scratch on Friday after the Devils claimed Nathan Bastian off of waivers, so Zetterlund returns to the AHL. He has nine points (3G / 6A) in 10 games with Utica this season.
MacDermid, who has played 123 career games on the blueline, will move to forward on Wednesday. The 6-foot-5, 233 lbs. bruiser will replace Kieffer Sherwood and skate on Colorado's fourth line.
Cousins has missed the last four games with an upper-body injury but practiced fully with the Predators in Montreal for the past two days and should play Saturday. Cousins has one goal and two assists in 12 games this season.
Zetterlund has scored three goals with six assists (nine points) in 10 games with Utica (AHL). This is the first call-up for Zetterlund, who could make his NHL debut on Thursday.
Eller travelled to Anaheim but was not on the ice for the morning skate and is questionable to play on Tuesday. If Eller is not available, expect Garrett Pilon to serve as the Capitals' third-line centre.
Pilon was a third-round pick in 2016 and appeared in one NHL game with Washington a season ago. Through 13 AHL games this season, the 23-year-old has leads Hershey with 11 points (5G / 6A).
Pinto was originally listed as a game-time decision but has been cleared to play tonight vs. the Penguins. Pinto, who will centre the second line, has one assist in four games this year.
Batherson tested positive for COVID-19 this morning but after further testing, he's been cleared to play vs. the Penguins. Batherson leads the Senators in points with 12 (5G / 7A) through 13 games.
Zub was forced to leave Thursday's game with an upper-body injury but was on the ice for Saturday's morning skate and will be a game-time decision vs. the Penguins.
Batherson was not on the ice for the Senators' morning skate and will be a gamma-time decision vs. the Penguins. There is no word what is ailing the 23-year-old winger, so monitor his status as the Senators hit the ice for warmups at 6:30 PM ET.
Pinto has missed the last nine games with an upper-body injury but will be a game-time decision vs. the Penguins. Pinto was on the Senators' second line in the morning skate, which is a good sign that he'll be available on Saturday. Pinto has registered one assist and five shots on goal in four games this season.
The 2019 No.19 overall pick has been recalled because the Senators are down eight players due to COVID-19 but it doesn't appear as if he will make his NHL debut on Thursday.
Formenton is now one of eight players on the COVID-19 reserve list for the Senators. With Formenton out, look for Scott Sabourin to draw into the Senators lineup.
