Ferraro has missed the last two games but could play Wednesday in Chicago. Head coach Bob Boughner said that Ferraro's return will be all about "pain tolerance, getting his foot back in a boot." Monitor his status during the Sharks' morning skate.

Bjugstad recently returned to the Penguins lineup after a 46-game absence following core muscle surgery. Three games in, Bjugstad is back on the sideline, out week-to-week with a lower-body issue.

Lowry, who has been out since January 19th, will draw back in on the Jets' third line with Andrew Copp and Jack Roslovic on his wings. Lowry has 10 points (4G 6A) in 47 games in 2020.

Lowry has been out since January 19th but head coach Paul Maurice says he could play Monday vs. the Coyotes. Lowry has done very little offensively this season, posting 10 points (4G / 6A) in 47 games.

Ferraro will come out of the Sharks lineup vs. the Senators, opening the door for Nikolai Knyzhov to make his NHL debut. Ferraro has picked up four points while playing 20:09 ATOI in his last seven games.


Bjugstad underwent core-muscle surgery in mid-November and missed the last 46 games. Bjugstad, who has one goal in 10 games this season, is expected to skate on the third line with Jared McCann and Patric Hornqvist.

Morrissey has missed the last four games with an upper-body injury but will play tonight vs. the Sabres. Morrissey, who has 29 points (5G / 24A) in 61 games this season, will skate on the top-pair with Dylan DeMelo and second power-play unit.

Morrissey will miss his second straight game with an upper-body injury and is being listed as day-to-day. Morrissey is still with the team but will get re-evaluated when the team returns to Winnipeg after Tuesday's game.


Namestnikov missed Thursday's game with an undisclosed injury but was back at practice on Friday, only to take a puck in the face and putting his status for Saturday's game in jeopardy. Head coach D.J. Smith wasn't sure if he would play but monitor his status during warmups at 1:30 pm ET.

Namestnikov was forced to leave last night's game vs. the Ducks and is questionable to play tomorrow vs. the Avalanche. Nick Paul is expected to return from an ankle injury to replace Namestnikov.

Lowry left Sunday's game in Chicago with an upper-body injury that he suffered early on a hit from Drake Caggiula. With Lowry out, Andrew Copp will move back to centre and Jack Roslovic will be bumped back into the top-6.

DeMelo missed the last 10 games with a broken finger but will be back on the top pair with Thomas Chabot in Washington. DeMelo has averaged a career-high 19:50 ATOI while posting six assists in 32 games this season.

DeMelo has missed the last 10 games with a broken finger but was back on the ice for Monday's practice and is expected to play on Tuesday. The Senators did not hold a morning skate so we'll have to wait for an update during head coach D.J. Smith's pre-game availability.

DeMelo broke his finger late in Wednesday's game in Montreal and will be out until early-January. This is a huge blow for the Senators, who lose arguably their most consistent/reliable defenseman of 2019-20. Erik Brannstom could be summoned from the AHL to replace DeMelo.

Namestnikov missed the last three games with a lower-body injury but will play Friday in Minnesota. Namestnikov, who has 12 points (6G / 6A) in 22 games this season, will skate with Artem Anisimov and Connor Brown on the Senators' third-line.
