Tarasenko missed eight of the final nine games of the regular seasons but will play in Game 1 on Monday. His return will provide a big boost for a team that will be without David Perron, who is in COVID-19 protocol. Tarasenko scored four goals with 10 assists (14 points) in 24 games this season.
Copp was missing from Thursday's practice and will be held out of the season finale on Friday. With Copp out tomorrow, Dominic Toninato will move up to the third line but expect Copp to reclaim that role in Game 1 vs. the Oilers.
Holl was originally considered questionable for Wednesday's game but reportedly responded well after Tuesday's practice and should be in the lineup in Ottawa. Holl has had a nice season as a top-4 defenseman, scoring two goals with 18 assists in 53 games.
Tarasenko re-aggravated his lower-body injury and will not play Wednesday. This will be the third time in four games that Tarasenko is unavailable. Look for Zach Sanford to move up and play with Tyler Bozak and Jaden Schwartz.
