Chabot has only played one game in the last five weeks, but appears to be nearing a return after being a full participant at practice on Wednesday. The 28-year-old Chabot is averaging 21:55 time-on-ice and has 10 points (2G / 8A) in 18 games this season. Chabot played 80 games last season, unfortunately, an irregularity for the talented defenseman who has had trouble staying healthy in recent seasons.

Ullmark has allowed three or fewer goals in three of his last four games (2-2-0), but does not have the results to show for it, posting a 2.80 GAA and .891 SV%. The 32-year-old Ullmark has had a rocky season between the pipes for the Senators, showcasing a career-worst 3.05 GAA and .877 SV% in 23 games (11-8-4). The Senators enter Monday's contest as +115 road underdogs against a struggling Winnipeg Jets team hoping to shift its fortunes after a dominant 5-1 win over the Washington Capitals on Saturday.

Eller just returned from a one-week absence to play two games, but returned to the sidelines after just two games, out for the foreseeable future due to a lower-body injury. The veteran 36-year-old forward has six points (2G / 4A) in 28 games this season, but has been held off the scoresheet in 16 straight.

The Senators have plummeted in the standings, losing five of their last six (1-5-0), and will be desperate for a win, turning to Ullmark to tend the twine on Thursday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The 32-year-old Ullmark allowed four goals on 32 shots (.875 SV%) in his most recent game, a 4-3 loss to the New Jersey Devils. He has a 3.05 GAA and .877 SV% in 22 games this season (10-8-4). The Senators enter Thursday's contest as -117 road favorites against a Blue Jackets team that has scored one goal in their last two games (0-2-0).

Chabot has not played since suffering an undisclosed injury on November 22nd, reaggravating an injury that previously kept him out of the lineup for nearly two weeks. Last week, the team revealed he would miss at least 10 more days, which appears to have been an optimistic outline, as he is seemingly no closer to returning to the lineup. The 28-year-old Chabot played 80 games last season, but had played fewer than 70 in his previous four. He has 10 points (2G / 8A) in 18 games this season.

Eller is battling an undisclosed injury and has been sidelined for a week, but will return on Tuesday against the New Jersey Devils. The veteran 36-year-old forward has six points (2G / 4A) in 26 games this season, but has been held off the scoresheet in 14 consecutive games.

The Senators have inexplicably struggled since their captain Brady Tkachuk returned to the lineup, going 1-4-0, but will hope to right the ship on Tuesday with Ullmark tending the twine against the New Jersey Devils.

The 32-year-old Swedish goalie has a 3.00 GAA and .877 SV% in 21 games this season (10-7-4).

Zub returned from a one-game absence on Saturday and was eased into the lineup, playing only 14:46 time-on-ice in a 2-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues. The 30-year-old Zub is averaging 19:58 time-on-ice, recording 11 points (3G / 8A), 40 blocks, and 33 hits in 27 games this season.
