Status report
Lagesson will enter the lineup after being a healthy scratch for 17 consecutive games. … Jones will start after Samsonov started the past five games. ... Giordano, a defenseman, and Timmins, a forward, each missed the Maple Leafs morning skate Saturday and will not play; Giordano is “maybe a little bit longer than day to day,” coach Sheldon Keefe said, and there is no timeline for Timmins to return. … Hamonic will return after missing five games with an upper-body injury. ... Forsberg, a goalie who has missed 10 games, could return next week; he has practiced three times since the Senators returned from their break Thursday. ... Sanderson, a defenseman, has not resumed skating since he was injured in a 3-2 overtime win against the Detroit Red Wings on Jan. 31.
