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.
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.
Forsberg won his third straight start with a 20 save (.909 SV%) 6-2 victory over Arizona his last time out. He has been steady this season, pitching a .904 SV% and 2.83 GAA while starting all but one of Ottawa's games. His Senators will host the Wild at home Thursday who is coming off a 3-1 win over Montreal and is looking to lower and improve their 31st-ranked goals against per game (4.67).
The Senators do not have a timeline for Norris' return but it's going to be long-term and they're not certain that he'll play again this season. Norris could require surgery but that decision won't be made for a few days. Derick Brassard filled in for Norris on Monday, but Shane Pinto could end up being the long-term solution with Alex DeBrincat and Claude Giroux.
Ullmark will get the nod for the third straight game after leading the Bruins to victory his last time out with his weakest effort of the year in a 24 save (.889 SVS%) 4-3 victory over the Minnesota Wild. It seems as if Ullmark has taken the starting job between the Bruins' pipes for the time being after starting the season undefeated (4-0-0) while posting an impressive .929 SV% and 2.23 GAA. He receives the tough task of taking on the 4-1-1 Dallas Stars who are coming off their first regulation loss Monday after dropping their game 4-2 to Ottawa.

Roos will hit the press box as a healthy scratch when Chicago host Florida Tuesday. In four games so far in 2022-23, the defenseman has zero points with a +2 plus/minus rating so far.
Norris left Saturday's game vs. the Coyotes with a shoulder injury and is expected to be sidelined for at least a few weeks. The Senators are still waiting on his MRI results, so they don't have a definitive timeline, but he's expected to be out for multiple weeks at the very least.
Norris left Saturday's game with a shoulder injury and did not return. The Senators have yet to provide an update on Norris' status because they need to wait for the swelling to subside before further evaluation. Because of that, it's highly unlikely that Norris will be available for Monday's game vs. the Stars. Expect Shane Pinto to play an expanded role in Norris' absence, and Derick Brassard could make his season debut in the bottom-6.
