Batherson is considered doubtful to play in Thursday's matchup with Nashville due to illness, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
Batherson has stormed back with four points in five games since returning from a long-term ankle issue. Without Batherson in the lineup, the Senators will likely roll with seven defensemen against the Preds and could be forced to recall a player from the minors if Tim Stutzle (knee) is unable to give it a go, as well.
