Status report
Smith practiced Sunday for the first time since the goalie sustained a thumb injury Jan. 12. Smith is "moving in the right direction," with his recovery, Oilers coach Dave Tippett said. … Tippett said Barrie is "a long shot for Washington [on Wednesday] but we'll see." The defenseman will miss his fifth game Monday. … The Senators did not hold a morning skate Monday. … Brannstrom will play after missing three games while in NHL COVID-19 protocol. … Tkachuk did not practice Sunday but will play. Coach D.J. Smith said it was a maintenance day for Tkachuk. … White and Connor Brown, both forwards, and Zaitsev, a defenseman, practiced Sunday wearing non-contact jerseys.
