Wolanin was a fourth-round pick of the Senators in 2015 and has scored five goals with 13 assists (18 points) in 58 career games since. Wolanin should be able to fight for playing time in Los Angeles, likely taking over Kurtis MacDermid's role as the seventh defenseman.
Wolanin played in six straight games but was seeing very limited ice time, especially in the three most recent games, where he played under 10 minutes in each game. Wolanin, who has three assists in 15 games this season, will be replaced by Braydon Coburn in the lineup but look for Mike Reilly to take over PP2 duties.
Coburn has been on the Senators' taxi squad but was called up on Thursday morning and will play for the first time since March 4th. Coburn, who has just one assist and a minus-6 rating in 11 games this season, will replace Christian Wolanin.
Manson has missed the last six games with a lower-body injury but will play Monday in Minnesota. It's unclear who Manson replaces but he re-enters the lineup with no points a minus-2 rating in six games this season.
Schwartz has been out since February 12th but it looks like he could play Friday in San Jose. Schwartz has spent the majority of the season on Brayden Schenn's wing, so that seems like the likely spot for him to skate on Friday. He has two goals and seven assists (nine points) in 14 games this season.
Makar has missed the last nine games with an upper-body injury but was on the ice for Tuesday's morning skate. It was the first time since late-February that Makar skated in a regular jersey but he's still not ready to play tonight vs. the Ducks. Head coach Jared Bednar said he's getting "close," so monitor his status prior to Thursday's game vs. the Wild.
