Murray suffered an undisclosed injury in the Senators' ugly loss in Arizona on Saturday and it will keep him out for at least the next two games. Anton Forsberg and Filip Gustavsson will handle the goaltending duties for the Senators while Murray is out.

McCann has missed the last three games with an undisclosed injury but is expected to play Saturday in Washington. In addition to McCann, the Kraken will also add Jaden Schwartz (hand) into the top-6. McCann has scored a career-high 21 goals with 12 assists (33 points) in 48 games this season.

Schwartz has not played since December 29th due to a hand injury but is expected to be back in the lineup in Washington. Schwartz has tallied six goals with 14 assists (20 points) in 29 games this season.

Kartye was an undrafted free agent out of the OHL, who has scored 33 goals with 25 assists (58 points) in 45 games with the Soo Greyhounds.

This move came after the morning skate, so it appears as if McCann suffered an injury during the morning session. Kole Lind was recalled from the AHL to take McCann's spot on the roster. Expect a more detailed injury report in the next 24 hours.

Murray and his wife welcomed a new baby this morning, so Filip Gustavsson is expected to serve as Anton Forsberg's backup vs. the Wild. Expect Murray to be available for Saturday's game vs. Montreal.

Murray was hurt in the third period Tuesday's game vs. the Blues and did not return. Murray was not on the ice for Wednesday's practice and will not travel to Buffalo. The Senators are hopeful that he will be available for their back-to-back in Ottawa over the weekend.
