Status report
Trouba will serve the first of a two-game suspension for elbowing Vegas Golden Knights forward Pavel Dorofeyev in a 5-2 loss on Friday. ... Quick could start after Shesterkin made 15 saves on Friday. ... Chytil, a forward who hasn’t played since Nov. 2 due to an upper-body injury, “suffered a setback” during practice Thursday and “will continue to be evaluated,” coach Peter Laviolette said. … Lindgren is questionable after he left midway through the first period Friday with an upper-body injury; there was no update on his status after the game. ... Chychrun missed the Senators morning skate Saturday for maintenance, but will play, coach Jacques Martin said. … Korpisalo is expected to make his fifth start in six games. … Kubalik, a forward, will be a healthy scratch for a fourth consecutive game.
