Unavailable vs. Montreal

Tkachuk (lower body) briefly participated in Tuesday's practice before leaving the ice for precautionary reasons, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports. Tkachuk hopes to play against Winnipeg on Wednesday after sitting out Saturday's 5-2 loss to Montreal.

Per TSN 1200 Ottawa, Tkachuk (rest) will be a game-time decision versus Montreal on Saturday, according to coach Travis Green. Tkachuk is coming off a tough loss Thursday against Canada and may need the night off as the Senators next play Wednesday against the Jets.

Sanderson (rest) will be a game-time decision Saturday versus the Canadiens, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports. Sanderson and teammate Brady Tkachuk played for the Americans in Thursday's finale against Canada in the 4 Nations Face-Off and will get another four days of rest if they sit out Saturday's tilt against Montreal.
