Pinto didn't show any signs of an ailment in Tuesday's 4-0 win over Utah HC but was not present at practice on Thursday. The 23-year-old Pinto has three points and -3 plus/minus through six game this season.
Highmore spent most of the 2024 season in the AHL, where he had 31 points (9G / 22A) in 43 games. During a brief time in the NHL, he had two assists in seven games, giving him 29 points (12G / 17A) in 146 career NHL games with the Blackhawks, Canucks, Blues and Senators. He has not played yet this season and will likely make his 2024-25 debut with the Belleville Senators in the AHL.
Reinhardt was recalled over the weekend but served as a healthy scratch for Ottawa. The 24-year-old Reinhardt has been reassigned to the Belleville Senators (AHL), where he has five points (2G / 3A) in three games this season.
Ullmark has not dressed for the last three games and will be sidelined for at least one more, missing Tuesday's game against the Utah Hockey Club. The 31-year-old net-minder just signed a four-year, $33 million contract extension with Ottawa days before the start of the season. He has a 2.58 GAA and .914 SV% through two games with the team so far (1-1-0).
With Linus Ullmark (strain) sidelined for at least one more game Merilainen has been recalled to serve as Anton Forsberg's backup on Tuesday against the Utah Hockey Club. The 22-year-old Merilainen has a 3.47 GAA and .852 SV% in three games with the Belleville Senators (AHL) this season (2-1-0).
Linus Ullmark (strain) was seemingly targeting a return to action on Tuesday but will be out of the lineup for at least one more game, giving Forsberg his fourth straight start. Forsberg has allowed three or more goals in each of his three outings but recorded his first victory of the season on Saturday despite allowing four goals on 29 shots (.862 SV%) in a 5-4 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Senators enter action on Tuesday as slight -100 road underdogs against the Utah Hockey Club.
If Grieg is able to return from a three-game absence due to an upper-body injury, he could seamlessly be inserted into the lineup as David Perron (personal) will be away from the team. The 22-year-old Grieg had been held off the scoresheet in two games this season, recording a -2 plus/minus while averaging 14:03 time-on-ice.
Perron will likely miss at least the first game of a three-game road trip for the Ottawa Senators due to personal reasons. The 36-year-old veteran has had trouble establishing himself in his first season with the Senators, scoring zero points and recording a -4 plus/minus through five games of playing predominantly on the third line.
Reinhardt will replace Mads Sogaard on the Senators' roster for their road trip next week. The 24-year-old only has one career NHL game under his belt, but could get into the lineup next week after a strong start in the AHL--two goals and three assists in three games.
Returning Sogaard to the AHL is a sign that Linus Ullmark is healthy enough to travel on the Senators' upcoming road-trip. Sogaard stopped 27 of 28 shots in an OT loss in his only AHL game this season.
Ullmark did not dress for the last two Senators games (1-1-0), but could return to action as soon Saturday afternoon against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The 31-year-old net-minder just signed a four-year, $33 million contract extension with Ottawa days before the start of the season. He has a 2.58 GAA and .914 SV% through two games with the team so far (1-1-0).
Linus Ullmark (strain) was at practice and appears to be nearing a return but will be sidelined for at least one more contest, allowing Forbserg to start for the second straight game. Forsberg struggled in his first game, allowing three goals on nine shots (.667 SV%) before being pulled in an exhilarating contest that the Senators were eventually victorious in, defeating the Los Angeles Kings 8-7 in overtime. The Senators enter action on Thursday as +119 home underdogs against an offensively potent New Jersey Devils club.
Ullmark did not dress in Ottawa's high-scoring 8-7 victory over Los Angeles on Monday due to a strain. The 31-year-old net-minder just signed a four-year, $33 million contract extension with Ottawa last Wednesday. Head Coach Travis Green said Ullmark has a possibility to be ready for the Senators' next contest on Thursday.
Zub played only 2:38 time-on-ice before exiting Monday's game with an upper-body injury. The 29-year-old hard-hitting defenseman has battled injuries the last two seasons, being limited to 53 and 69 games respectively.
Sogaard's second call-up this week might indicate that Linus Ullmark (muscle strain) is not ready to return to the crease yet. The 23-year-old Sogaard was a last-minute emergency call-up on Monday and opened the contest against the Los Angeles Kings by backing up Anton Forsberg. Sogaard entered in relief of Forsberg midway through the game and allowed four goals on 17 shots (.765 SV%) but salvaged an 8-7 overtime victory.
Gaudette drew into Ottawa's lineup on Monday due to a Ridly Greig injury and has been recalled again, an indication that Greig may not be ready to return to the lineup. Gaudette recorded an assist in 5:36 time-on-ice in Ottawa's exhilarating 8-7 overtime win against the Los Angeles Kings on Monday.
Sogaard was a last-minute emergency call-up on Monday and opened the contest against the Los Angeles Kings by backing up Anton Forsberg. Sogaard entered in relief of Forsberg midway through the game and allowed four goals on 17 shots (.765 SV%) but salvaged an 8-7 overtime victory. His reassignment to Belleville (AHL) indicates that Linus Ullmark (strain) is likely nearing his return from a one-game absence.
