Ullmark was hurt in the first period of Thursday’s game and did not return for the second period. Ullmark is being evaluated on Friday and has already been ruled out for this weekend’s back-to-back vs. the Flyers.
Del Zotto missed Tuesday’s game vs. Chicago but will replace Andrew Peeke in the lineup on Thursday. Del Zotto has had a resurgent season, posting one goal, five assists, 37 shots and a plus-9 rating in his first 19 games with Columbus.
Giroux has been out since February 7th but it looks like he'll return to the lineup Wednesday vs. the Rangers. Look for Giroux, who has 11 points (1G / 10A) in 13 games, is expected to skate with Kevin Hayes and Nolan Patrick.
Del Zotto missed Monday's practice and will not be available for Tuesday's contest vs. the Blackhawks. Del Zotto will be replaced by David Savard, who missed Saturday's game with a non-COVID-19 related illness.
Chabot has missed the last two games with an upper-body injury but should play Tuesday vs. Montreal. Chabot was on the ice for the Senators' morning skate and while he's officially considered a game-time decision, head coach DJ Smith said that there's a "pretty good chance" that he's back in. Chabot, who has three goals and six assists (nine points) in 17 games, would be replaced by Braydon Coburn if he can't go.
Chabot missed Thursday's game in Toronto and Saturday's practice but head coach DJ Smith did not rule him out vs. the Canadiens. If he misses another game, expect Erik Brannstrom and Mike Reilly to man the power-play units.
The Flyers will return to the ice for the first time in 10 days after a COVID-19 outbreak but will do so without six regulars. Giroux, Jakub Voracek, Travis Konecny, Justin Braun, Oskar Lindblom and Scott Laughton will all miss Tuesday's game against the Rangers.
