The Senators' 2018 first-round pick (26th overall) will make his season debut after getting recalled from Belleville of the AHL. In 13 career NHL games in two seasons prior, the 22-year-old has one assist and is a +3 plus/minus.
Cousins has yet to get a point in any of his seven games so far this season with the Panthers. He has five SOG and a -1 plus/minus while only playing 7:19 ATOI.
Ullmark was pulled yet got the victory in his last start, stopping 29 of 34 shots (.853 SV%) in a 6-5 victory over Pittsburgh. Ullmark has yet to lose this season, carrying a 7-0-0 record, 2.20 GAA and .932 SV% into his start Thursday. He takes on the New York Rangers who are coming off a 1-0 win over the Flyers his last time out and ranks fourth in the NHL in shots on goal per game (36.5).
Brassard will replace Parker Kelly as he draws back into the Senators' lineup vs. Vegas for the first time since October 29th. The 16-year-veteran has played well in his limited time, scoring a goal and adding four SOG through three games while playing 15:10 ATOI.

Forsberg picked up his third straight loss stopping 30 of 34 shots (.900 SV%) his last time out in a 4-3 loss to Tampa Bay. Cam Talbot returns to the bench Thursday but will only back up Forsberg who has posted a 3-5-0 record with a 3.18 GAA and .909 SV%. He draws the tough task of taking on Vegas who leads the NHL in wins, points and least amount of goals allowed per game (1.73).

Pilon has posted five points (1G/4A) in his first seven games with Hersey (AHL) prior to his call-up to Washington Wednesday. In three career NHL games, he is shooting a perfect one-for-one, with one goal on one shot.
Forsberg made 53 saves on 57 shots in the Senators 5-3 loss to the Panthers on Saturday. It was an outrageously busy night for Forsberg, who kept his team in it until the very end. Ottawa is in the bottom-10 in the NHL in shots against, so he'll be busy most nights. He comes into Tuesday at 3-4-0 with a 3.04 GAA and .913 SV% in seven games.
Ullmark was unbeatable his last time out, shutting out the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-0 off a 30-save performance. He has been as close to perfect as can be this season, leading the NHL in wins with a 6-0-0 record to go along with his 4th-placed .945 SV% and 5th-placed 1.70 GAA. He takes on a struggling Pittsburgh Penguins team who has last their last four games while only scoring more than one goal once during that time.

Davies will get his first call-up to Buffalo after seeing NHL time with Nashville in each of the last two seasons. In 22 career games played, the 25-year-old has three assists and 10 PIMs to go along with 24 SOG.
Craig Anderon was in the starter's crease and the first goalie off the ice at practice Saturday.
Artem Zub will miss at least a week after it was announced Friday that he sustained an upper-body injury. It is a big loss for the Senators as Zub was playing 21:59 ATOI and was +2 with three points (1G/2A) in his first seven games prior to the injury.
Cousins will be the odd man out after it was announced Thursday that Eric Staal would be making his Panthers debut. In seven games so far, he has yet to collect a point and is -1 with only five SOG.
Holden has appeared in four straight games and five of the Senators' first six games. However, it looks like he'll be scratched in favour of Nikita Zaitsev vs. the Wild.
