Senators' Jakob Chychrun: Doubtful against New Jersey
Chychrun (undisclosed) is considered doubtful to play Saturday versus the Devils, Steve Lloyd of TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
Unless the Senators release another update indicating otherwise prior to puck drop, at this point it's safe to assume Chychrun won't be available Saturday. With Chychrun set to be sidelined, look for Nick Holden to draw into the lineup against New Jersey.

Senators' Mads Sogaard: Pucks like beach balls in win
Sogard made 27 saves in a 7-2 win over Tampa Bay on Thursday.
The 22-year-old was dialled-in, in an 'I'm seeing a beach ball' kind of way. Sogaard has struggled in March (1-5-1), but has started to cut down on goals allowed in his last two games. He gave up just two goals to each of the Bolts and Bruins, and could be poised to help the Sens continue to track down the Penguins for the last wild card spot. The team is just five points behind.

Senators' Brady Tkachuk: Two snipes set career mark
Tkachuk scored twice Thursday in a 7-2 victory over the Lightning.
The first one came on the power play in the third period; the second went into an empty net. Tkachuk has seven points (five goals, two assists) in his past five games. And the two goals set an NHL career high for him (32). Tkachuk has increased his shot volume this season (304; 72 games) and sits at the top of the NHL behind only David Pastrnak (338), Connor McDavid (314) and Nathan MacKinnon (306). And with his 100 PIM, Tkachuk is among the best multi-category studs in fantasy hockey.

Senators' Alex DeBrincat: Big three points carry win
DeBrincat had two goals and an assist in a 7-2 win over the Lightning on Thursday.
His first goal came on a wrist shot on a 3-on-1 rush in the first, and then he got another about two-and-a-half minutes later when he fought off Zach Bogosian and flicked the puck past Brian Elliott. DeBrincat hadn't scored since March 9, ending a nine-game goal drought. He hasn't had the offensive season he, the Sens or fantasy managers had expected (23 goals, 36 assists; 72 games). Almost half of his points (27) have come on the power play. DeBrincat needs to be more than a power-play specialist to help his team.

Senators' Dylan Ferguson: Good to serve as backup
Ferguson (illness) will serve as the backup goaltender versus Tampa Bay on Thursday, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.
Ferguson wasn't available for Tuesday's contest against Boston due to the illness. He made his NHL season debut Monday, stopping 48 of 49 shots in a 1-0 victory over Pittsburgh. Mads Sogaard will be in net against the Lightning.

Senators' Mads Sogaard: In goal Thursday
Sogaard will guard the home goal versus the Lightning on Thursday, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.
Sogaard has lost five straight outings (0-4-1) with 20 goals allowed in that span. That alone is enough to be wary of Sogaard in fantasy, and the matchup with a Lightning team that's won four of the last five games doesn't make it any easier for the inexperienced netminder.

Senators' Mathieu Joseph: Will skate next week
Joseph (lower body) will resume skating next week, Wayne Scanlan of the Ottawa Citizen reports.
Joseph has missed the last five games, after getting hurt in Calgary on March 12. Joseph has three goals and 17 points in 47 games this season. He is expected back shortly after resuming skating.

Senators' Anton Forsberg: Will not return in regular season
Forsberg (knees) will miss the remainder of the regular season, Wayne Scanlan of the Ottawa Citizen reports.
Forsberg suffered MCL tears in both knees Feb. 11, and it is no surprise that he will miss the rest of the regular season, as he was expected to miss 2-3 months. Forsberg ends the season with an 11-11-2 record, as well as a 3.26 GAA and .902 save percentage.

Senators' Parker Kelly: Done for season
Kelly suffered a broken kneecap and will not return this season, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
Kelly last played March 12 and ends the season with a goal, three assists, 37 PIM and 172 hits in 55 games. He should be good to go at the start of training camp in September.

Senators' Tyler Kleven: Inks entry-level contract
Kleven signed a three-year, entry-level contract with Ottawa on Thursday.
Kleven was selected in the second round -- 44th overall -- in 2020 and has spent the last three seasons at the University of North Dakota. Kleven had eight goals and 18 points with 84 PIM in 35 games this season in NCAA action. The Senators are getting a physical defenseman who is excellent in his own end. Kleven will join the Senators on Friday and could make his NHL debut shortly thereafter.

Senators' Kevin Mandolese: Headed back to minors
Mandolese was sent down to AHL Belleville on Wednesday.
Mandolese was brought up to serve as the backup behind Mads Sogaard against the Bruins on Tuesday after youngster Dylan Ferguson came down with an illness. In his three NHL appearances this year, the 22-year-old Mandolese is sporting a 1-2-0 record, 3.30 GAA and .916 save percentage. At this point, it seems unlikely Madnolese will see any more starts this season unless somebody else suffers an injury.

Senators' Dylan Gambrell: Pots second goal
Gambrell scored his second goal of the season in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Bruins.
The 26-year-old opened the scoring midway through the first period, beating Linus Ullmark on a lightning-quick wraparound, but it was all the offense Ottawa could muster. Gambrell's only other tally this season came back on Nov. 1, and the bottom-six forward has just seven points in 51 games.

Senators' Mads Sogaard: Comes up short against Boston
Sogaard made 33 saves in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Bruins.
All the scoring came in the first period, and while Sogaard was sharp over the final 40 minutes, Linus Ullmark was just a little bit better on the night. Sogaard had given up at least four goals in six straight starts, so this was a strong bounce-back performance, but he still sports a 3.38 GAA and .8878 save percentage through 13 appearances this season.

Senators' Dylan Ferguson: Dealing with illness
Ferguson (illness) won't be in the lineup Tuesday against Boston, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
Ferguson will sit out at least one contest after making 48 saves in Monday's 2-1 victory over Pittsburgh. Kevin Mandolese is up from the minors to serve as Mads Sogaard's backup.

Senators' Kevin Mandolese: Summoned by parent club
Mandolese was promoted from AHL Belleville on Tuesday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
Dylan Ferguson is dealing with a non-COVID illness, so Mandolese will join the big club and back up Mads Sogaard versus the Bruins on Tuesday. Mandolese will likely head back to the minors as soon as Ferguson is ready to return.

Senators' Mads Sogaard: Slated to face Bruins
Sogaard will defend the road net Tuesday against Boston, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
Sogaard is coming off a 25-save effort in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to Toronto. He has a 5-4-2 record this season with a 3.49 GAA and an .881 save percentage in 12 appearances. Boston ranks second in the league this campaign with 3.78 goals per game. Sogaard will get the second half of Ottawa's back-to-back after Dylan Ferguson played in Monday's 2-1 win over Pittsburgh. Ferguson (illness) won't be in the lineup Tuesday, so Ottawa has recalled Kevin Mandolese from AHL Belleville to be Sogaard's backup.
