The Senators have sent Vitaly Abramov to Bellville (AHL).
Abramov scored a goal in his season debut but returns to the AHL with Mikkel Boedker likely taking his spot in the lineup on Monday. Abramov didn’t have a point in his AHL season debut but had seven points (4G / 3A) in 18 AHL games last year.
Goalie Start
Ullmark will start Friday vs. the Panthers.
Ullmark allowed four goals on 40 shots in the Sabres overtime loss in Columbus on Monday. Ullmark was the Sabres’ best player on the ice by a wide margin and earned himself another start tonight vs. the Sabres. The 26-year-old was 8-6-3 with a 3.48 GAA, .893 SV% and one shutout in 17 games at KeyBank Center last season.
Cousins (back) will not travel to Buffalo.
Cousins has not played in the first two games of the season and suffered a back injury in Monday’s practice. Cousins will not travel to Buffalo for Wednesday’s game, so expect their lineup to remain the same from Saturday’s win in Toronto.
Goalie Start
Ullmark will make his season debut in Columbus.
Ullmark appeared in a career-high 37 games in 2019-20, going 15-14-5 with a 3.11 GAA and .905 SV%. Carter Hutton has had a strong start to the season, but the Sabres view this as a good time to get Ullmark into the crease. He’ll face a Blue Jackets team that has started the season at 0-2 while being outscored 11-3.
The Senators have recalled Vitaly Abramov from Belleville (AHL).
Abramov made his NHL debut with the Senators last year but opened the year with Belleville. With Filip Chlapik and Drake Batherson being re-assigned on Sunday, Abramov comes up and will likely be in the lineup on Thursday. Abramov had 29 points (16G / 13A) in 70 AHL games last season.
The Senators sent Drake Batherson to the AHL on Sunday.
Batherson was held without a point and shot while posting a minus-4 rating in the first two games of the 2019-20 season. He heads to Belleville, where he led the team with 62 points (22G / 40A) in 59 games last season.
8-year, $64,000,000 contract with the Ottawa Senators. Yrs 5-8: 10 Team No Trade Clause. Expires 2028 (UFA).

The Senators have signed Thomas Chabot to an eight-year contract extension worth $64 million ($8.0M AAV).
Chabot is coming off of a fantastic sophomore campaign, scoring 14 goals with 41 assists (55 points) in 70 games. The Senators have a young, up-and-coming team and Chabot could lead the team in points in 2020. The 22-year-old has just one career power-play goal, something that will change this season and allow him to approach last year’s totals.
The Hurricanes have signed Ryan Suzuki to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Suzuki was selected with the No.28 overall pick in this summer’s draft after scoring 25 goals with 50 assists (75 points) in 65 games with the Barrie Colts (OHL).
The Sabres have re-signed Linus Ullmark to a one-year, $1.325 million contract.
Ullmark appeared in 37 games during his first full year with the Sabres, going 15-14-5 with a 3.11 GAA and .905 SV%. Ullmark will likely play a similar number of games in 2020 as he heads into the season as Carter Hutton’s backup.
The Kings have re-signed Mike Amadio to two-year contract.
The Sabres have signed Dylan Cozens to an entry-level contract.
The Avalanche have signed Andre Burakovsky to a one-year contract.
The Canadiens have signed Nick Cousins to a one-year contract worth $1.0M.
The Blues have signed Sammy Blais to a one-year, $850K contract.
The Avalanche acquired Andre Burakovsky from the Capitals for Scott Kosmachuk, a 2020 second-round pick and a 2020-third-round pick.
Burakovsky was picked No.23 overall back in 2013 but has yet to top 40 points in five NHL seasons. In his defence, Burakovsky has never played more than 13:50 TOI/gm, so the Avalanche will see what he can do for them in a larger role. The 24-year-old has tremendous speed, a great shot but had just 12 goals and 13 assists (25 points) in 76 games a season ago.
With the No.28 Pick in the 2019 NHL Draft the Carolina Hurricanes select Ryan Suzuki.
With the No.24 Pick in the 2019 NHL Draft the Nashville Predators select Philip Tomasino.
With the No.7 Pick in the 2019 NHL Draft the Buffalo Sabres select Dylan Cozens.
