Status report
The Senators will use the same 18 skaters from a 5-4 overtime win against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday. … Giordano, who has missed the past 11 games, was a full participant at the morning skate for the first time since sustaining the injury but will not play. Coach Sheldon Keefe said, the defenseman is "real close" to a return.
