Status report
The Senators did not hold a morning skate Sunday. … Ottawa coach D.J. Smith said there could be lineup changes after pregame warmups because of undisclosed injuries. … Mandolese was recalled from Belleville of the American Hockey League on Friday and will back up Talbot. ... Forsberg, a goalie, will miss his second straight game. ... Clarke was recalled from Ontario of the AHL on Sunday after a conditioning loan. The defenseman has not played for the Kings since Nov. 1; his next game in the NHL will start his three-year, entry-level contract.
