Cousins was the recipient of a controversial hit from Arizona's Jason Zucker, which led to a three-game suspension. The 30-year-old scrappy centre has struggled to produce offensively in 2023-24 with only two goals, three assists, 20 PIMs, 63 SOG and a -10 plus/minus in 37 games. With Cousins cleared from concussion protocol after missing 10 games, his return to the lineup is now just a matter of conditioning.

Ullmark will be back between the pipes for Wednesday's game against the Hurricanes after Jeremy Swayman got the nod against the Jets on Monday. Ullmark allowed four goals on just 21 shots in Saturday's game against the Canadiens, though he still cruised to an easy victory thanks to his teammates spotting him nine goals. The 2022-23 Vezina Trophy winner hasn't quite lived up to the lofty standards he set last season, but he's still been more than effective with a 14-5-2 record and .912 SV% to his name. He draws a tough assignment on Wednesday as the Bruins play host to the mighty Hurricanes.

With the return of Matt Roy (personal), Jordan Spence was the odd man out of the Kings' lineup Wednesday vs. Buffalo. The 22-year-old has yet to find the back of the net in 2023-24 but has a career high 14 assists, 49 SOG, four PIMs and a +7 plus/minus across 40 games played.

Sogaard allowed six goals on 33 shots in the Senators loss to the Avalanche on Tuesday. It was a rough season debut for Sogaard, who was 8-5-2 with a 2.48 GAA and .920 SV% when he was recalled from the AHL. This afternoon he'll face a Flyers team that lost 7-4 to the Avalanche yesterday, snapping a five-game winning streak--they've averaged 3.7 goals per game during that six-game stretch.

Pinto was suspended for 41 games for activities relating to sports wagering but will play Sunday in Philadelphia. With no morning skate, it's unclear who Pinto will replace in the lineup or which line he will skate on to start. The 2019 second-round pick (No.32 overall) had 20 goals and 15 assists (35 points) in 82 games a season ago.

Amadio missed the Golden Knights' game Thursday vs. New York due to an upper body injury and has been officially placed on the Injured Reserve Friday. The 27-year-old is in his third full season with Vegas and on pace for his best statistical season with six goals, 17 points, 58 SOG, and a +5 plus/minus through 42 games played.

With Pinto's 41-game suspension for activities relating to sports wagering nearing an end, the Senators have signed the 23-year-old to a one-year $775,000 contract. The final game of his suspension is on Saturday, and he will be eligible to return to the lineup for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Flyers. The Senators forward had 35 points (20G / 15A) in 82 games last season.

Zetterlund, battling an illness, will likely be a game-time decision before Saturday's contest against the Anaheim Ducks. He has been held off the scoresheet in the last three games while tallying 11 shots on goal and six hits.

Amadio will be unavailable on Thursday due to an upper-body injury. Amadio played the last three games for the Golden Knights, registering a -2 plus/minus rating, and two shots while being held off the scoresheet.

The Kings will continue their lineup rotation between Clarke and Jordan Spence on Thursday. Spence last played on Monday, registering 13:52 time-on-ice while tallying one shot and one hit.

Cozens exited the Sabres last game with an upper-body injury after playing only 11:25 time-on-ice. He has found his way onto the scoresheet in only one of his last six games, scoring two points (1G / 1A).

Ullmark appears to be nearing a return but will remain unavailable for Thursday's game against the Colorado Avalanche. Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman have almost exclusively split starting time this season, but Swayman will continue to take the reigns between the pipes until Ullmark returns.

Spence will be the odd-man out on Tuesday as Brandt Clarke draws back into the lineup. Spence has no goals and 13 assists in 37 games this season.

Sogaard will likely make his first start of the season for a Senators club struggling immensely and is without goaltender Anton Forsberg. Sogaard has had a stellar campaign with the Belleville Senators of the AHL, posting a 2.48 GAA and .920 SV% in 16 games (8-5-2). The 23-year-old Sogaard spent a sizeable portion of the 2022-23 season in Ottawa but struggled to make an impact, posting a 3.32 GAA and .889 SV% in 19 appearances (8-6-3). The Senators, losers of 12 of their last 16 (4-12-0), are +104 home underdogs against a high-scoring Colorado Avalanche club that was defeated 4-3 by the Montreal Canadiens last night.

Brandt Clarke will be a healthy scratch on Monday, allowing Spence to re-enter the lineup, his third game in the last six contests. Spence has one point (0G / 1A), two shots, and two hits while averaging almost 15 minutes on ice.
