Status report:

Merilainen could start after Forsberg made 28 saves in a 2-1 win against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday. … Cousins, a forward who left in the first period Saturday after a knee-on-knee collision with Jacob Quillan, is “going to be out for a while,” coach Travis Green said. A forward will be recalled from Belleville of the American Hockey League. … Jensen, a defenseman, will miss his second straight game. … Norris, a forward, skated with the Senators on Saturday but will miss his third consecutive game.
