Werenski is day-to-day with an upper-body injury and did not travel with the club on their two-game road trip in Florida/Carolina. Gabriel Carlsson is expected to replace Werenski in the lineup on Thursday.
Merzlikins was at practice on Wednesday and travelled with the team to Florida and was expected to start on this road trip. It's unclear if he suffered a setback or if this is just a move to create a spot to call up Jake Christiansen. The move is retroactive, so he's eligible to be activated for tomorrow's game if he's ready to start.
Gambrell tweaked something in the morning skate and will not be available for Tuesday's game vs. Minnesota, so the Senators will need to call-up a forward from the AHL.
Danforth has been out since December 30th but will play Sunday vs. the Sabres. Danforth will replace Trey Fix-Wolansky, who was sent to the AHL to make room for him. He has scored two goals with two assists in 15 games this season.
Merzlikins left Saturday's practice with a lower-body injury and will not be available for Sunday's game vs. the Sabres. With Joonas Korpisalo also hurt, J-F Berube will get the start for Columbus.
Gambrell was a healthy scratch in Washington on Sunday but he will replace Mark Kastelic in the lineup on Tuesday. Gambrell has scored one goal with two assists (three points) in 29 games with the Senators this season.
Fix-Wolansky was a seventh-round pick in 2018 and is set to replace Emil Bemstrom (COVID-19) in the lineup on Tuesday. The 22-year-old has scored nine goals with eight assists (17 points) in 22 AHL games this season.
Gambrell missed the last four games with an upper-body injury but is set to play Monday vs. the Devils. Gambrell has gone pointless in his last eight games and has just one goal and two assists (three points) in 25 games this season.
