Leevi Merilainen will start Tuesday vs. Carolina.

Merilainen was 18-13-7 with a .918 SV% and 2.02 GAA with Karpat (Liiga) this season and has earned his first NHL callup and start Tuesday. The 20-year-old was the Senators' 2020 third-round pick (71 overall) and will be making his NHL debut vs. Carolina, who has won their last two games and are third in the NHL in shots per game (34.9).

Tkachuk left the morning skate early and could be one of the Senators game-time decisions on Tuesday.

The Senators announced that they have two or three game-time decisions on Tuesday but did not disclose who those players were. Tkachuk appeared to be banged up in their last game and left the morning skate early, so Tkachuk may be one of the players in question this evening.

Ullmark will start Thursday vs. the Blue Jackets.

Ullmark stopped 21 of 22 shots (.955 SV%) but still snapped a three-game winning streak as he was defeated by the Nashville Predators in his previous start. The 29-year-old has all but locked up the Vezina Trophy this season as he leads all major goaltending categories with his 36-6-1 record, 1.90 GAA and .937 SV%. He will face the Columbus Blue Jackets, who have lost five of their last seven games after a 6-2 loss to the New York Rangers last game.
