Chabot left Monday's game after playing just 2:57 TOI and will likely miss the rest of the season. The Senators said that his injury is nothing serious but there's no reason to put him in harm's way with them out of the playoff race.
Formenton missed Saturday's game in Montreal but will play tonight vs. the Jets. The speedy winger has scored three goals with two assists (five points) in 16 games this season.
Ullmark was forced to leave Tuesday's game in Boston with a lower-body injury and is week-to-week. This is a terrible break for the Sabres, who could have moved him at the trade deadline but wanted to work on an extension. However, they're well out of the playoff race and it's better for them to play it safe with Ullmark's health.
Pinto skated on the fourth line with Connor Brown and Alex Formenton in Friday's practice and will replace Michael Amadio in the lineup on Saturday. Pinto was the No.32 overall pick in 2019 and scored 15 goals with 17 assists (32 points) in 28 games in his second season at the University of North Dakota.
Cozens has missed the last six games with an upper-body injury but is set to return today in Philadelphia. Cozens has had a tough year with injuries, scoring four goals with two assists (six points) in 25 games.
Amadio was acquired in a trade with the Kings at the end of March and is expected to make his Senators debut on Thursday. Amadio, who had just two assists in 20 games with Los Angeles, will likely be on the fourth line.
Sabres' GM Kevyn Adams said that Cozens is more day-to-day than week-to-week and that they expect him to miss at one week. With Cozens out, Riley Sheahan is expected to move up into the top-6 on Wednesday.
Cozens left Monday's game vs. the Flyers with an upper-body injury and did not return. The Sabres did not provide much of an update on Cozens' status but said they didn't believe that it was season-ending. The fact that they even mentioned that, suggests that Cozens is going to miss some time, so don't expect to see him Wednesday.
Eller has missed the last seven games with a lower-body injury but is expected to return to the lineup on Tuesday. While he's officially listed as a game-time decision, look for Eller to centre the third line between Richard Panik and Jakub Vrana/Conor Sheary.
Amadio had a career-high 16 points (6G / 10A) in 58 games a season ago but was held without a goal and just two assists in his first 20 games of 2021. In Ottawa, he will likely fill Artem Anisimov's fourth-line/reserve role after Anisimov was placed on waivers.
