Status report
Borowiecki will play at Ottawa for the first time since signing with the Predators as a free agent on Oct. 9, 2020. ... Batherson, a forward, and Gambrell, a center, each is doubtful with a non-COVID-19 illness. ... Stutzle will be a game-time decision after the forward took a knee-on-knee hit from Montreal Canadiens center Nick Suzuki during a 6-3 win Tuesday. ... Reinhardt could make his NHL debut; he and Kastelic each was recalled from Belleville of the American Hockey League on Thursday.
