Stone will miss his ninth consecutive game with a knee injury despite talking about potentially retuning tonight vs. the Predators. Monitor his status heading into Saturday’s game in Toronto.

Stone has missed the last eight games but it looks like he could return tomorrow vs. the Predators. Stone’s return would be a huge boost to the Senators as he still leads the team in points (44) despite missing 2.5 weeks.

Hutton has been scratched for the last two games but will return tonight in Florida. Hutton has just six assists in 45 games this season. He will replace Derrick Pouliot on the blueline.

Stone was on the ice this morning but told reporters he won’t play vs. New Jersey but he has not ruled out a possible return on Thursday. This will be the eighth consecutive game that Stone has missed—the Senators are 2-5-0 without him during that time.



Stone missed the last three games before the All-Star break and will miss some more time as the Senators return to action on Tuesday. Stone’s move to IR is retroactive to one week ago, so he’s eligible to come off of IR whenever he is healthy, so technically he could play vs. the Hurricanes.



Stone will miss his second straight games with a lower-body injury that he suffered vs. the Maple Leafs on Saturday. Filip Chlapik who replaced Stone last night, is also hurt so the Senators may have to call up another forward or roll with seven defensemen tonight.

Stone left the Senators morning skate early and will not play tonight in Minnesota. Stone joins J-G Pageau and Nate Thompson as injured Senators forwards—that means Filip Chlapik, Colin White and Chris DiDomenico will all be in the lineup tonight.


Barbashev went to Chicago during the Blues bye week but returns to the St. Louis with five points (1G / 4A) in 17 games with the Blues this season. During his time in the AHL, he has 10 points (5G / 5A) in 20 games.

The Blues have the next six days off so Barbashev will head to the AHL to keep playing. Barbashev has split his time between the AHL and NHL this season, picking up five points (1G / 4A) with the Blues and eight points (4G / 4A) in 18 games with the Wolves.
