Ottawa Senators

Ottawa Senators forward Tim Stutzle will be a game-time decision for Thursday's game against the Nashville Predators, coach D.J. Smith said this morning. Smith said the young forward "pushed it at practice this morning" but that Stutzle was banged up and limped to the bus after Monday's game against the Montreal Canadiens.

Stutzle appeared to hut his knee during a knee-on-knee collision with Nick Suzuki.

Stutzle, 20, has 15 goals and 28 assists in 68 games this season. 

Forwards Drake Batherson and Dylan Gambrell are doubtful to play tonight due to non-COVID related illnesses.

Defenceman Jake Sanderson was on the ice prior to the morning skate. He continues to recover from hand surgery.

He has a 17-14-3 record with a 2.72 goals-against average and .919 save percentage in 37 games this season.
