Ottawa Senators News

Forsberg has strung together two excellent performances and will likely start again on Thursday when the Senators take on the Toronto Maple Leafs. In his last two outings (2-0-0), Forsberg has saved 72 of 74 shots (.973 SV%), a turning point on an otherwise forgettable season in which he had a .850 SV% through his first seven contests (3-4-0). The Senators are +113 home underdogs on Thursday as the Maple Leafs have recorded at least a point in eight of their last nine games (5-1-3).

Forsberg saved 39 shots for his first shutout of the season in a 2-0 victory over the Seattle Kraken on Saturday and will be rewarded with the starter's crease on Tuesday against the New York Rangers. Forsberg has a few elite performances this season but has lacked consistency, following up each of his last two quality starts with sub-.810 SV% losing efforts. The Senators are +115 home underdogs against a New York Rangers team that has won three straight and scored four or more goals in three of their last five games (4-1-0).

Chabot and the Senators are awaiting his MRI results, hoping for positive news, as any prolonged absence for Chabot will be a disheartening blow for the team after just recently re-welcoming him back into the lineup. He was not able to complete Saturday's game, his second game after a 10-game absence due to a hand injury, exiting late in the third period after playing 22:29 with an undisclosed injury. In the two games, Chabot scored one point (0G / 1A) and eight shots on goal while quarterbacking the Senators' top powerplay unit.

Greig was having a tremendous season before being derailed by a lower-body injury that has forced him to miss the last 10 games. He has seven points (2G / 5A) and 18 shots on goal through nine games this season and is expected to skate alongside Dominik Kubalik and Mathieu Joseph in his return to the lineup against the New York Rangers on Tuesday.

Greig has missed the last 10 games with a lower-body injury but anticipates playing on Tuesday. The Senators most recently played with an 11-forward, seven-defenseman formation, meaning that Erik Branstrom or Jacon Bernard-Docker are the likely candidates to be healthy scratched for Greig's return. Before his injury, the 21-year-old Greig had seven points (2G / 5A) in nine games, playing predominantly with Vladimir Tarasenko and Mathieu Joseph.

Chabot was not able to complete Saturday's game, his second game after a 10-game absence due to a hand injury, exiting late in the third period after playing 22:29 with an undisclosed injury. In the two games, Chabot scored one point (0G / 1A) and eight shots on goal while quarterbacking the Senators' top powerplay unit. He did not participate in practice on Monday, but is expected to dress for Ottawa's matchup Tuesday vs. the New York Rangers.

Chabot has been out of the lineup since October 26th, missing 10 games, but appears on track to return to action for the Senators on Friday after being activated from the Long-Term Injured Reserve on Thursday. The 26-year-old defenseman had three points and 18 shots in seven games before his injury.

Grieg has been on the injured reserve since November 3rd; missing eight games due to a lower-body injury and was placed on the Long-Term Injured Reserve Thursday. The 21-year-old sophomore was enjoying a strong start to 2023-24 prior to his injury, with two goals, five assists, 18 SOG, four PIMs and a +7 plus/minus through nine games.

The carousel of goaltender starts continues in Boston as Ullmark takes the crease back after backing up for Boston's 5-2 loss to Detroit Friday. The 30-year-old Vezina Trophy Winner is looking to duplicate last years honour with his impressive 7-1-1 record, 2.10 GAA and .932 SV%. He draws the tough task of the New York Rangers, who have won 12 of their last 14 games and are 15th in the NHL in goals per game (3.22).

Joonas Korpisalo was not present at the morning skate and as a result, Forsberg will be the starting goalie on Friday against the New York Islanders. Friday's matchup marks the Senators' first game since returning from the NHL Global Series in Sweden, where Forsberg played exceptionally well, saving 24 of 25 shots in a 2-1 victory over the Minnesota Wild. The Senators will hope Forsberg can build off his most recent performance because he struggled immensely in his three games prior (0-3-0), allowing 13 goals on only 51 shots (.745 SV%). Forsberg and the Senators are -121 home favourites against an Islanders team that ranks third worst in the league offensively (2.56 GF / GP).
