Status report
The Senators are hopeful Zub will return after missing six games because of a concussion. Coach D.J. Smith said he will be a game-time decision and that seven defensemen will skate in warmup. ... The Maple Leafs are expected to use the same lines and defense pairings as they did in their 6-5 overtime win against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday.
