Status report
The Senators did not hold a morning skate Saturday. … Amadio will take the place of Formenton, a forward, in the lineup. ... Primeau will make his second start. … Armia is expected to play after hitting his head on the glass late in the third period of a 5-3 win against the Winnipeg Jets on Friday. ... Weber, a defenseman, likely will miss his second straight game. ... Kulak will play after being a healthy scratch the past six games.
