Amadio missed the Golden Knights' game Thursday vs. New York due to an upper body injury and has been officially placed on the Injured Reserve Friday. The 27-year-old is in his third full season with Vegas and on pace for his best statistical season with six goals, 17 points, 58 SOG, and a +5 plus/minus through 42 games played.

With Pinto's 41-game suspension for activities relating to sports wagering nearing an end, the Senators have signed the 23-year-old to a one-year $775,000 contract. The final game of his suspension is on Saturday, and he will be eligible to return to the lineup for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Flyers. The Senators forward had 35 points (20G / 15A) in 82 games last season.

Zetterlund, battling an illness, will likely be a game-time decision before Saturday's contest against the Anaheim Ducks. He has been held off the scoresheet in the last three games while tallying 11 shots on goal and six hits.

Amadio will be unavailable on Thursday due to an upper-body injury. Amadio played the last three games for the Golden Knights, registering a -2 plus/minus rating, and two shots while being held off the scoresheet.

The Kings will continue their lineup rotation between Clarke and Jordan Spence on Thursday. Spence last played on Monday, registering 13:52 time-on-ice while tallying one shot and one hit.

Cozens exited the Sabres last game with an upper-body injury after playing only 11:25 time-on-ice. He has found his way onto the scoresheet in only one of his last six games, scoring two points (1G / 1A).

Ullmark appears to be nearing a return but will remain unavailable for Thursday's game against the Colorado Avalanche. Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman have almost exclusively split starting time this season, but Swayman will continue to take the reigns between the pipes until Ullmark returns.

Spence will be the odd-man out on Tuesday as Brandt Clarke draws back into the lineup. Spence has no goals and 13 assists in 37 games this season.

Sogaard will likely make his first start of the season for a Senators club struggling immensely and is without goaltender Anton Forsberg. Sogaard has had a stellar campaign with the Belleville Senators of the AHL, posting a 2.48 GAA and .920 SV% in 16 games (8-5-2). The 23-year-old Sogaard spent a sizeable portion of the 2022-23 season in Ottawa but struggled to make an impact, posting a 3.32 GAA and .889 SV% in 19 appearances (8-6-3). The Senators, losers of 12 of their last 16 (4-12-0), are +104 home underdogs against a high-scoring Colorado Avalanche club that was defeated 4-3 by the Montreal Canadiens last night.

Brandt Clarke will be a healthy scratch on Monday, allowing Spence to re-enter the lineup, his third game in the last six contests. Spence has one point (0G / 1A), two shots, and two hits while averaging almost 15 minutes on ice.



With news of Anton Forsberg being injured, Mads Sogaard was recalled Friday from Belleville (AHL). The 23-year-old last appeared with the Senators' in 2022-23 and was 8-6-3 with a 3.32 GAA and .889 SV%.

Amadio is good to go for Thursday's game after sitting out last night's game due to an illness. He is expected to join Nicolas Roy and Paul Cotter on Vegas' third line. Amadio has six goals and 11 assists in 39 games this season.

Amadio was a late scratch from the game with the Golden Knights only announcing his absence 30 minutes before puck drop. The Golden Knights will likely be forced to dress seven defensemen in Amadio's absence.
