Thompson (lower-body) will not play on Tuesday.

Thompson has missed some time with a lower-body injury earlier this season and has re-aggravated the injury. Thompson joins Mark Stone, Derick Brassard, Bobby Ryan and Gabriel Dumont as injured Senators forwards, so they will go with 11 forwards and seven defensemen tonight—a call-up from Binghamton (AHL) will be made this afternoon as well.

Johansen (undisclosed) left Tuesday’s game and did not return.

Johansen was rocked by Golden Knights’ forward William Carrier and was forced to exit yesterday’s shutout win and did not return. The Predators did not have an update on Johansen’s status post-game, but the Predators will be without their entire top-line if Johansen misses any time.

Ellis (knee) will make his season debut on Tuesday.

Ellis missed the first 38 games of the season after undergoing offseason knee surgery, but will play his first game of the season tonight in Vegas. Ellis, who is expected to skate on a pairing with Roman Josi, is coming off of the best season of his career, in which he registered 16 goals and 22 assists (38 points) in 71 games. Ellis is one of the better offensive-defensemen in the NHL and makes the Predators that much more dangerous, especially on the power-play.
