Senators' Austin Watson: Game-time decision

Watson (illness) will be a game-time decision Sunday against St. Louis, Claire Hanna of TSN reports.

Watson is expected to take part in pregame warmups before a decision on his status is made. Still, it seems probable that he will return after missing Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to Chicago because Tyler Motte will be scratched Sunday for trade-related reasons. If Watson can't play, Dillon Heatherington could suit up as the seventh defenseman.
