The Senators have activated center Lars Eller from injured reserve, while goaltender Linus Ullmark has been moved to the non-roster list due to an indefinite leave of absence. Eller returns after missing 14 of the last 16 games due to injuries, contributing six points in 28 games this season. His return pushes rookie Stephen Halliday to the press box, as Ottawa’s fourth line has been effective defensively. Ullmark’s absence allows the team to utilize their roster spots more efficiently, with backup Leevi Merilainen currently struggling in net.
