Chabot has missed the past three games with an upper-body injury, but was back at practice on Monday. It is unclear if he will be ready to suit up on Tuesday against the Vegas Golden Knights. The 29-year-old Chabot is averaging 25:20 time-on-ice and has four points (1G / 3A) in nine games this season.
Ullmark exited Ottawa's previous game in the third period with a lower-body injury and will miss at least one week before he is eligible to be activated from Injured Reserve. The 33-year-old Swedish goalie has had a terrific start this season, posting a dazzling 1.33 GAA and .945 SV% in eight games (7-1-0). Expect Sam Ersson to get most of the action while Ullmark's out. Ottawa also recalled Jonas Johansson from Belleville (AHL) in a corresponding move.
Samuel Ersson was likely always starting in the tail end of a back-to-back on Thursday, but with Linus Ullmark (lower body) on IR, he is likely due for more starts than expected in the interim. Ersson only had to make one save in relief of Ullmark last night, playing the final 16 minutes of a 5-1 win over the Florida Panthers. The 27-year-old Swedish goalie hasn't seen much action this season, but has an ugly 4.70 GAA and .831 SV% in four appearances (0-2-0). The Senators enter Thursday's game as -124 home favourites against a San Jose Sharks team coming off an impressive come-from-behind 4-3 overtime win over the Montreal Canadiens.

Linus Ullmark (lower body) exited Ottawa's previous game in the third period and will miss at least one week, resulting in the team recalling Johansson from Belleville (AHL). The 31-year-old Johansson has never thrived at the NHL level, but he has plenty of experience, posting a 3.29 GAA and .889 SV% in 105 career appearances (43-36-14).
Ullmark had to be helped off the ice during Wednesday's win over the Panthers after tweaking something while making a save on Brady Tkachuk shot. Post-game, head coach Travis Green said that Ullmark has a lower-body strain and will be assessed on Thursday. It sounds like the Senators may have avoided the worst-case scenario, but expect them to recall a backup for Samuel Ersson for Thursday's game.
Ullmark has been excellent this season, but is coming off his first loss despite another strong outing, saving 25 of 27 shots (.926 SV%) in a 3-1 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers. The 33-year-old Swedish goalie is 6-1-0 with a stellar 1.33 GAA and .945 SV% this season. The Senators enter a highly anticipated Wednesday-night game against their former captain, Brady Tkachuk, and the Florida Panthers, who are riding a three-game winning streak.

Sanderson has not played since suffering a lower-body injury in the first period of Ottawa's season-opening game, but he will return Wednesday against the Florida Panthers. The 24-year-old Sanderson scored 54 points (14G / 40A) in 67 games last season and should be an effective offensive contributor again in 2026-27 while occupying a spot on Ottawa's top power-play unit.
Hayden Hodgson will join Ottawa's lineup on Wednesday, and Burakovsky will be a healthy scratch. When Ottawa acquired Burakovsky in the offseason, the team hoped he could return to the 61-point player he was in the 2021-22 season, but so far the 31-year-old has been in and out of the lineup, struggling to find his place. Burakovsky has zero points in five games.
Andre Burakovsky will be a healthy scratch on Wednesday, allowing Hodgson to re-enter the lineup. The 30-year-old Hodgson has appeared in two games for Ottawa this season, but has spent most of his career in the AHL. He had 11 points (6G / 5A) last season in 47 games with Belleville (AHL).
Chabot exited Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers in the second period with an upper-body injury. The 29-year-old defenseman has four points (1G / 3A) in nine games this season. Fortunately for the Senators, Jake Senators (lower body) appears to be nearing a return to the lineup and could step in as Chabot's replacement.
