Batherson was not on the ice for the Senators' morning skate and will be a gamma-time decision vs. the Penguins. There is no word what is ailing the 23-year-old winger, so monitor his status as the Senators hit the ice for warmups at 6:30 PM ET.

Formenton is now one of eight players on the COVID-19 reserve list for the Senators. With Formenton out, look for Scott Sabourin to draw into the Senators lineup.
Cousins is week-to-week with an upper-body injury that he suffered on Sunday vs. the Blackhawks. He was moved to IR to open up a roster spot to recall Mathieu Olivier.
Holden was moved to the COVID-19 reserve list on Sunday and is expected to miss Tuesday's game in Boston. Look for Erik Brannstrom to replace him in the lineup.
Anderson missed Saturday's game vs. the Red Wings with an upper-body injury and will miss Monday's game in Washington as well. Anderson is listed as day-to-day, so he shouldn't be sidelined long-term. Look for Aaron Dell to backup Dustin Tokarski vs. the Capitals.
Highmore was hurt midway through Thursday's game vs. the Flyers and did not return. Being moved to IR means that Highmore will miss at least one week and it created room for the Canucks to recall Nic Petan from the AHL.
