Status report
Thompson will make his third start in four games. ... Eichel, a center who will miss his 16th straight game, is skating but not yet practicing with the team, Golden Knights coach Bruce Cassidy said; Eichel could return during the current five-game road trip, which ends at the Columbus Blue Jackets on March 4. ... Demek, a forward, was recalled from Henderson of the American Hockey League on Friday. … Forsberg will start for the third time in four games. ... The Senators are expected to dress the same lineup they used in a 4-1 win against the Dallas Stars on Thursday, but assistant coach Capuano said there are “a couple of game-time decisions.” If everyone is cleared to play, Hamonic, a defenseman, will be a healthy scratch for a fourth straight game.
