Status report
Stolarz, a goalie, did not travel with the team to Ottawa. … Dostal was recalled from San Diego of the American Hockey League on Saturday. … The Ducks did not hold a morning skate. … DeBrincat, a forward, and Talbot are each game-time decisions after not taking part in the morning skate. "One guy's nicked up and the other guy's not feeling great," Senators coach D.J. Smith said. … Chartier was recalled from Belleville of the AHL on Monday. … Norris, a forward, increased his reps during practice in a non-contact jersey. "I think we'll reevaluate after Christmas and see how he is," Smith said. … Zub, a defenseman, is week to week. "There's no exact timeline," Smith said.
