Forsberg was the first goalie off the ice at Ottawa's morning skate.

Leevi Merilainen recorded a 16-save shutout in Ottawa's most recent game, a 6-0 win over the Minnesota Wild. Still, the club will likely switch to Forsberg between the pipes on Monday against the Nashville Predators. Forsberg struggled in his most recent outing but held on for a 5-4 overtime victory over the Washington Capitals while saving 31 of 35 shots (.886 SV%). The 32-year-old Forsberg has a 2.87 GAA and .893 SV% in 19 appearances this season (7-9-1). The Senators enter Monday's contest as slight +103 road underdogs against a Predators squad amid a four-game losing skid (0-4-0).

Ullmark (back) participated in morning skate but will remain out on Thursday vs. Washington.

Ullmark has not played since December 22nd, missing 16 games with a back injury, but appears to be nearing a return to action. After a rough start to his tenure in Ottawa, the 31-year-old Ullmark was finally starting to play to his potential before his injury, posting an exquisite .954 SV% in nine games (8-0-1). His next chance to return will be on Saturday against the Minnesota Wild.
