Cousins (concussion) will return to the Panthers' lineup Tuesday.

Cousins was the recipient of a controversial hit from Arizona's Jason Zucker, which led to a three-game suspension. Cousins has been out of the lineup since, missing 12 games due to a concussion. The 30-year-old scrappy centre has struggled to produce offensively in 2023-24 with only two goals, three assists, 20 PIMs, 63 SOG and a -10 plus/minus in 37 games.

Sogaard will start against the Predators on Monday.

Sogaard will make his first start in three games Monday after taking over in relief for Joonas Korpisalo in the Senators' 7-2 loss to New York on Saturday. The 23-year-old towering netminder has struggled in his first three appearences this season, posting a 1-1-0 record, 4.55 GAA and .841 SV%. He will take on the Nashville Predators, who have lost three of their last four games and are 18th in the NHL in goals per game (2.98).

Hamonic has missed the last three games with an upper-body injury but participated in Monday's morning skate in a non-contact jersey. He won't play Monday vs. the Predators but he could shed the non-contact jersey and be available for Wednesday's game in Detroit.

Cousins (concussion) has been cleared from protocol and is considered day-to-day as he gets back to game condition.

Cousins was the recipient of a controversial hit from Arizona's Jason Zucker, which led to a three-game suspension. The 30-year-old scrappy centre has struggled to produce offensively in 2023-24 with only two goals, three assists, 20 PIMs, 63 SOG and a -10 plus/minus in 37 games. With Cousins cleared from concussion protocol after missing 10 games, his return to the lineup is now just a matter of conditioning.

Ullmark will start against the Hurricanes on Wednesday.

Ullmark will be back between the pipes for Wednesday's game against the Hurricanes after Jeremy Swayman got the nod against the Jets on Monday. Ullmark allowed four goals on just 21 shots in Saturday's game against the Canadiens, though he still cruised to an easy victory thanks to his teammates spotting him nine goals. The 2022-23 Vezina Trophy winner hasn't quite lived up to the lofty standards he set last season, but he's still been more than effective with a 14-5-2 record and .912 SV% to his name. He draws a tough assignment on Wednesday as the Bruins play host to the mighty Hurricanes.

Hamonic (upper body) will not play Thursday vs. Boston.

Hamonic returned to the lineup from a two-game absence on Sunday, but only played 5:23 before exiting the contest, subsequently missing Tuesday's contest. Hamonic has five points (2G / 3A) in 40 games this season and will not play on Thursday.

Sogaard will start in Philadelphia on Sunday.

Sogaard allowed six goals on 33 shots in the Senators loss to the Avalanche on Tuesday. It was a rough season debut for Sogaard, who was 8-5-2 with a 2.48 GAA and .920 SV% when he was recalled from the AHL. This afternoon he'll face a Flyers team that lost 7-4 to the Avalanche yesterday, snapping a five-game winning streak--they've averaged 3.7 goals per game during that six-game stretch.

Pinto will make his season debut on Sunday.

Pinto was suspended for 41 games for activities relating to sports wagering but will play Sunday in Philadelphia. With no morning skate, it's unclear who Pinto will replace in the lineup or which line he will skate on to start. The 2019 second-round pick (No.32 overall) had 20 goals and 15 assists (35 points) in 82 games a season ago.
