Status report
Yakemchuk replacing Matinpalo on the third defense pair is the only expected lineup change for the Senators from a 4-3 overtime win against the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday. ... Murashov will start for the third time in four games. ... Van Riemsdyk took full contact in practice Friday and participated in an optional morning skate, but the defenseman will miss his 15th straight game. ... Lapierre could enter the lineup after being a healthy scratch for a 3-2 shootout win at the San Jose Sharks on Wednesday; Koivunen, a forward, would sit.
