Status report
The Senators will dress the same 18 skaters they used in a 4-0 win against the Blue Jackets on Sunday. ... Cousins skated in a no-contact jersey Tuesday; the forward has not played since Jan. 25. ... Blue Jackets coach Dean Evason did not confirm any lineup decisions other than Merzlikins starting, but based on the morning skate, Aston-Reese will go in for Chinakhov, a forward, and Christiansen will replace Jack Johnson on defense.
