Sogaard will start Monday vs. the Hurricanes.

Sogaard allowed four goals on 18 shots (.778 SV%) as he took the no-contest in a two-period relief appearance in his previous start. The 22-year-old rookie has struggled in his short-showing this season, with his 7-6-2 record, 3.37 GAA and .887 SV%. He takes on the Carolina Hurricanes, who have lost their last two-games but are third in the NHL in shots per game (34.9).

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.
