Goalie Start
Forsberg led the Senators onto the ice for warmups.
The Oilers have acquired Derick Brassard from the Flyers for a 2023 fourth-round pick.
The Senators have signed Anton Forsberg to a three-year contract extension worth $8.25 million ($2.75M AAV).
Forsberg has enjoyed a breakout season in Ottawa, going 14-12-2 with a 2.77 GAA and .918 SV% in 31 games (29 starts). Forsberg signing a three-year extension means the Senators will have a goaltending tandem of Forsberg and Matt Murray for the next two seasons.
Goalie Start
Anderson led the Sabres onto the ice for warmups.
Line Change
Gregor will draw back into the Sharks lineup on Sunday.
Gregor has been scratched in three of the last four games but will replace Matt Nieto (undisclosed) on Sunday. Gregor has just three points (1G / 2A) in his last 14 games.
The Senators have acquired Travis Hamonic from the Canucks for a 2022 third-round pick.
Hamonic is in the first year of a two-year deal that carries a $3.0M AAV cap-hit. The Canucks did not retain any salary in the trade. Hamonic has picked up seven points (3G / 4A), 30 hits and 55 blocked shots in 24 games this season.
The Panthers have acquired Claude Giroux, Connor Bunnaman, German Rubtsov and a 2024 fifth-round pick from the Flyers for Owen Tippett, a 2024 first-round pick and a 2023 third-round pick.
Goalie Start
Ullmark will start Friday in Winnipeg.
Stützle (lower-body) is expected to play on Friday.
Stützle suffered a lower-body injury in Wednesday's loss to the Blue Jackets and missed Thursday's practice but is expected to play vs. the Flyers. Stützle has just one goal in his last 10 games but has picked up seven assists over that stretch.
Goalie Start
Ullmark was the first goalie off of the ice at the Bruins morning skate.
Line Change
Giroux (management decision) did not travel to Ottawa for Friday's game.
With Giroux expected to be traded before Monday's trade deadline, Giroux will sit out Friday and most likely Sunday vs. the Islanders as well. Giroux played his 1,000th career NHL game last night, firing two shots and picking up two PIMS in 17:47 TOI. At this point, the Panthers and Avalanche appear to be the front runners to land the 34-year-old.
