Senators' Tyler Kleven: Won't play in Game 2
Kleven (upper body) won't be an option for Game 2 against Carolina on Monday, Julian McKenzie of The Athletic reports.
Kleven hasn't played since April 2 against Buffalo due to the injury. He was a full participant in Monday's morning skate, but he worked as an extra and isn't quite ready to return yet. He registered three goals, 18 points, 90 shots on net, 94 blocked shots and 126 hits across 70 appearances during the 2025-26 regular season.

Senators' Artem Zub: Game-time call Monday
Zub (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision for Game 2 against the Hurricanes on Monday, Julian McKenzie of The Athletic reports.
Zub was injured during Game 1 on Saturday, logging just 7:44 of ice time before being forced to leave the contest. If Zub does miss out, it appears that Nikolas Matinpalo will step into his top-four spot in the lineup, while Lassi Thomson could play after sitting out Game 1.

Senators' Carter Yakemchuk: Added as part of Black Aces
Yakemchuk has been added to the active roster by the Senators, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports Sunday.
Following Saturday's 2-0 defeat in Game 1 against the Hurricanes, the Senators have added their crop of Black Aces to the roster with AHL Belleville's season officially in the books. Alongside Yakemchuk, Ottawa also added Graeme Clarke, Arthur Kaliyev, Xavier Bourgault, Oskar Pettersson and Tyler Boucher to the roster.

Senators' Linus Ullmark: Strong performance in Game 1 loss
Ullmark made 27 saves in Saturday's 2-0 loss against the Hurricanes in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference First Round.
The first goal came on a relatively slow-moving shot that appeared to have been redirected in front of the net, allowing the puck to slip under Ullmark's left pad. The second goal came after the netminder froze on a save. The puck rolled off his shoulder and went in the net after it dropped behind Ullmark, and Taylor Hall poked it over the line. Ullmark is off to a strong start this postseason, but he will need his teammates to find twine.

Senators' Artem Zub: Suffers undisclosed injury
Zub sustained an undisclosed injury during Game 1 against Carolina on Saturday, but head coach Travis Green didn't have an update on his status after the game, per Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal.
Zub had three hits in 7:44 of ice time before exiting Saturday's 2-0 loss to the Hurricanes. The 30-year-old had five goals, 30 points, 57 PIM, 66 hits and 120 blocks in 81 regular-season outings while averaging 20:48 of ice time. If Zub can't play in Game 2 on Monday, then Lassi Thomson might draw into the lineup.

Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Tending twine in Game 1
Andersen will protect the home goal versus Ottawa in Game 1 on Saturday, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.
The Hurricanes are going with Andersen's veteran presence in goal, rather than rookie Brandon Bussi, who saw the majority of the action during the regular season. Andersen was 16-14-5 with a 3.05 GAA and a poor .874 save percentage over 35 appearances in 2025-26. Andersen gave up five goals on 30 shots in his lone appearance versus the Senators, a 6-3 loss April 5.

Senators' Linus Ullmark: Between pipes Saturday
Ullmark will patrol the road crease against Carolina in Game 1 on Saturday, Julian McKenzie of The Athletic reports.
Ullmark had a stellar regular season, posting a 28-12-8 mark with three shutouts, a 2.73 GAA and an .891 save percentage. He turned aside 25 shots in a 6-3 win over the Hurricanes on April 5.

Senators' Tyler Kleven: Unavailable Saturday
Kleven (upper body) won't play in Game 1 against Carolina on Saturday, Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News reports.
Kleven sat out the final seven games of the regular season and won't be available for the beginning of the playoffs. However, the Senators hope to have the 24-year-old blueliner back in the lineup at some point during the team's first-round series against the Hurricanes.

Senators' Graeme Clarke: Logs three assists
Clarke recorded three assists in AHL Belleville's 6-4 win over Syracuse on Friday.
Clarke has scored just once over his last nine games, but he has nine assists in that span as well. He's elevated his play since getting traded to Belleville, earning 19 points over 14 outings. In total, he has 43 points across 64 appearances between Belleville and Hershey this season.

Senators' Xavier Bourgault: Three points in AHL win
Bourgault scored twice and added an assist in AHL Belleville's 6-4 win over Syracuse on Friday.
Bourgault has three multi-goal games over his last six games. For the season, the winger is up to 25 goals, 57 points and a minus-17 rating over 69 appearances. Belleville will miss the AHL postseason, so Bourgault could be a candidate to join Ottawa as part of the Black Aces early next week.

Senators' Leevi Merilainen: Up from minors
Merilainen was called up by Ottawa on Friday.
Merilainen had an 8-10-1 record, 3.51 GAA and .860 save percentage in 20 appearances with Ottawa during the 2025-26 regular season. He's joining Ottawa as the squad's No. 3 goaltender going into its first-round series against Carolina. Merilainen shouldn't be expected to man the net in a 2026 playoff game for the Senators unless Linus Ullmark and James Reimer run into injury problems.

Senators' Stephen Halliday: Little usage late in regular season
Halliday played in just five of the Senators' last 25 games of the regular season, including an appearance in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Maple Leafs.
Halliday was a regular earlier in the season, but he ended up filling a depth role down the stretch until the Senators rested some key players. He ends his rookie year with four goals, seven assists, 34 shots on net, 30 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 30 appearances. Halliday is likely to be back in the press box for Game 1 versus the Hurricanes on Saturday.

Senators' Claude Giroux: Supplies pair of helpers
Giroux notched two assists and six shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Maple Leafs.
Giroux posted two goals and three assists over the last six games of the regular season. The 38-year-old didn't get rested to close out the campaign, so it's safe to assume he's relatively healthy for the postseason. He had 14 goals, 35 assists, 138 shots on net, 65 hits, 22 PIM and a plus-20 rating over 82 regular-season contests, production nearly identical to last year.
