Rafferty had two goals, 14 assists, six PIMs and a +4 plus/minus in 38 games played with Grand Rapids (AHL), and was called up by the Red Wings last week but served as a healthy scratch.

Korpisalo was excellent in relief of Mads Sogaard on Monday, saving all 17 shots he faced in a 4-3 overtime victory over the Nashville Predators. Korpisalo has had a forgettable season but has played better lately, allowing three or fewer goals in five of his last six outings (3-1-2), posting a respectable .910 SV%. That said, the Senators are slight -101 road underdogs on Wednesday against the Detroit Red Wings, winners of two straight, outscoring their opposition 8-2.

Husso wasn't scheduled to start on Wednesday but will be out of the lineup entirely after coming down with an illness. Husso has not played a game since returning to the lineup last week and will likely continue to be a secondary option between the pipes as long as Alex Lyon continues to give the Red Wings solid goaltending regularly.
Andersen was diagnosed with deep-vein thrombosis and subsequent pulmonary embolisms in November. Andersen has resumed off-ice activities without complication and will not begin limited on-ice conditioning. Andersen remains without a timetable to return to the lineup.
Schwartz missed Tuesday's morning skate due to maintenance but is apparently good to go for Tuesday's game vs. San Jose.

He draws the favourable matchup of the San Jose Sharks, who surprisingly had a three game winning streak snapped by a 5-2 loss to Buffalo last game and are tied for last in the NHL in goals per game (2.08).
