Gaudette suited up for the last five games but will be replaced by Loui Eriksson in the lineup on Saturday night. Gaudette scored in the Canucks season opener but has just one goal and no assists in 10 games since.

MacEwen has skated in seven straight games but will be replaced by Jake Virtanen in the lineup on Thursday. MacEwen has scored one goal in 10 games this season.

Chabot will miss his second straight game with a lower-body injury, which means Artem Zub will remain in the Senators lineup in a tough assignment vs. Connor McDavid and Co.

Zub came over from the KHL this offseason after scoring 13 goals with nine assists (22 points) in 57 games with St. Petersburg SKA. The 25-year-old undrafted free agent is expected to replace Thomas Chabot, who is doubtful with an undisclosed injury.

Chabot missed Saturday's practice after leaving Thursday's game in Vancouver early. Head coach DJ Smith said that "for now [Chabot] is going to be out for tonight," so consider him a game-time decision but it would be surprising if he plays.

Highmore was a healthy scratch for the last two games but will replace Ryan Carpenter, who was added to the COVID-19 protocol list on Saturday. Highmore has no points in four games this season.

Ullmark allowed three goals on 39 shots in the Sabres loss to the Rangers on Thursday. Ullmark has been a workhorse for the Sabres, with Saturday marking his fifth consecutive start. He's gone 2-0-2 while stopping 121 of the 132 shots (.917 SV%) that he's faced. Buffalo has been terrific defensively so far this season, so Ullmark continues to be a strong fantasy option in the right matchups.

Ullmark allowed three goals on 31 shots in the Sabres' shootout win in Washington on Sunday. After going 1-1-1 with a 2.55 GAA and .905 SV% in his first three starts, it looks like Ullmark will face someone other than the Capitals on Tuesday night. The Rangers come in struggling, opening the season at 1-3-1 while averaging 2.60 goals for per game.

Highmore has been a healthy scratch for the last three games but he will play Tuesday because Alex DeBrincat is in COVID-19 protocol. Highmore has eight points (4G / 4A) in 52 career NHL games.

Gaudette will sit as a healthy scratch for the second consecutive game, which means Zack MacEwen will remain in the lineup in the first of two games against the Senators. Gaudette was held scoreless with a minus-5 rating in his last five games.
