Status report
Kane will return from an upper-body injury that kept him out five games. … Veleno, a forward, will be a healthy scratch for the first time in six games. … Johansson will take Gustafsson's spot on the third defense pair. … The Senators opted for an off-ice workout instead of a morning skate. Changes were made to all of Ottawa's forward lines in practice Wednesday, including demoting Gaudette, who has 12 goals in 23 games, to the fourth line. … Matinpalo, a defenseman, missed practice Wednesday with the flu and will not dress.
