Status report
Elliott will make his second straight start. … Jeannot, a forward who left a 6-1 loss to the New York Islanders on Thursday, flew back to Tampa Bay to see a doctor. … Sergachev, a defenseman, did not make the trip to Ottawa. "He's going to go be a dad," Lightning coach Jon Cooper said. … Multiple players are game-time decisions, Cooper said. … Watson, a forward who left a 7-2 loss to the Florida Panthers on Thursday, will not play. Ottawa coach D.J. Smith said Watson is "probably done" for the season. … No player on the Senators' injured list is expected to return this season. "They're all done," Smith said. … Smith would not confirm a starting goaltender, but Talbot took reps in the starter's end during the morning skate. … Gauthier will return after missing six games due to an illness. … Forward Ridly Greig and goalie Leevi Merilainen were returned to Belleville of the American Hockey League.
