Vatrano didn't practice ahead of Tuesday's clash with the Sharks while awaiting the birth of his child, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Vatrano hasn't found the back of the net in four games this season but did pick up helpers in each of his last two outings. If the 30-year-old winger isn't available against San Jose, the team may have to bring up a player from the minors unless Isac Lundestrom (upper body) is cleared to play.

Strome didn't practice Monday due to an illness, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Strome has recorded points in three consecutive appearances, including goals in his last two outings. However, it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Tuesday's game against the Sharks due to his illness. If he's sidelined, Brett Leason could see additional work for the Ducks.

Sogaard was hurt playing for AHL Belleville on Sunday and was helped off the ice with an apparent lower-body injury, Steve Warne of The Hockey News reports.

Sogaard underwhelmed in his lone NHL appearance this season, conceding four goals on 17 shots in a wild win over the Kings on Oct. 14. While the news won't have an immediate impact on the Senators goaltending situation, Linus Ullmark (strain) is already dealing with an injury, which could force the team to use an EBUG behind Anton Forsberg versus Utah on Tuesday.

Hartman (upper body) is day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's matchup against Florida, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Hartman was a full participant in Monday's practice, and the team will see how he responds Tuesday morning before determining his status. He missed Saturday's 3-1 win over Columbus due to his injury. Hartman has two goals, 12 shots on net and six hits through four appearances this season.

General manager Mike Grier said Monday that Celebrini (lower body) will miss at least two more weeks, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Celebrini has been unavailable since Opening Night on Oct. 10, when he recorded a goal and an assist in 17:35 of ice time against the Blues. Although Celebrini recently resumed skating, he's considered week-to-week and will be sidelined until at least early November. Mikael Granlund should continue to see work on the Sharks' top line while Celebrini remains sidelined.

Steel (undisclosed) will be on the Stars' two-game road trip, Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest reports Monday.

In five games this season, Steel has tallied one goal on five shots, one assist and three hits while averaging 13:28 of ice time. If the Alberta native does suit up against the Sabres on Tuesday or the Bruins on Thursday, it figures to be in a bottom-six role where he will offer minimal offensive upside.

Gustavsson will start Tuesday's road game against the Panthers, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Gustavsson has picked up wins in each of his last two starts, posting a 1.00 GAA and .962 save percentage during those road matchups against St. Louis and Columbus. He'll attempt to stay hot in his fifth start of the season Tuesday, while Marc-Andre Fleury will likely draw the start for Thursday's game in Tampa Bay.

Highmore (upper body) was placed on waivers by Ottawa on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

In order to put Highmore on waivers, he would have needed to be medically cleared, meaning he should be ready to get back into the lineup. The 28-year-old center figures to start his season with AHL Belleville as he works his way back from injury but should be a strong candidate for a call-up later in the season.

Karlsson skated in a non-contact sweater at practice Monday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

Karlsson seems unlikely to suit up versus the Kings on Tuesday considering he is still in a non-contact jersey. He could be progressing toward a return with an eye to the upcoming back-to-back versus Ottawa and San Jose on Friday and Saturday, respectively. Once cleared to play, Karlsson figures to slot into a top-six role, which could see Tanner Pearson pushed down the depth chart.

Head coach John Tortorella said Monday that he isn't yet sure whether Laughton (personal) will be available for Tuesday's game against the Capitals, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.

Laughton is awaiting the birth of his child, so it's not yet clear whether he'll be with the team for Tuesday's matchup. The 30-year-old has been relatively efficient early in the season, totaling two goals and two assists while averaging 13:21 of ice time over five contests.
