Status report
Voracek could return after missing a 6-4 win against the Vegas Golden Knights on Sunday with a knee injury. ... Danforth could play after missing two games with a lower-body injury. ... Tierney will be a game-time decision; he has missed eight games with a lower-body injury. ... Murray is "doing better, but he's not close to skating," Senators coach D.J. Smith said; the goalie has not been ruled out of playing again this season, but there is no definitive timeline for his return.
