Status report
Johansson is expected to start after Vasilevskiy made 26 saves in a 4-2 loss at the Buffalo Sabres on Monday. ... The Lightning added Geekie, Pelletier and Duke, a forward, to the active roster after Holmberg left in the third period Monday following a hit into the boards by Sabres forward Peyton Krebs. ... Chaffee, a forward, was reassigned to Syracuse of the American Hockey League on Tuesday. ... Chabot skated with the Senators for the first time since sustaining a right arm injury during a 2-1 win at the New York Rangers on March 23; the defenseman had surgery March 26, was wearing a non-contact jersey and was initially expected to be out 4-8 weeks; “It’s definitely going to be sooner, whenever it is,” Ottawa coach Travis Green said … Gilbert returned to practice Monday; the defenseman will miss his ninth straight game.
