Status report
Korpisalo is expected to make his third start in four games. ... Senators coach Jacques Martin said there will be some game-time decisions. … Allen will make his second start in nine games and first since Jan. 15, when he made 32 saves in a 4-3 win against the Colorado Avalanche. … Pearson will return after missing 19 games because of an upper-body injury. ... Xhekaj, who was recalled from Laval of the American Hockey League on Monday, will play his first game for Montreal since he sustained an upper-body injury Nov. 16 and was subsequently assigned to Laval. … Kovacevic will play after being a healthy scratch for the past three games; Harris, a defenseman, will be scratched.
