Senators' Jake Sanderson: Dishes two assists Monday
Sanderson registered two assists, two shots on goal, three hits and four blocked shots in Monday's 3-2 double-overtime loss to the Hurricanes.
Sanderson led all players with 43:06 of ice time over nearly five full periods of hockey. He'll be forced into a lot of minutes since injuries continue to deplete the Senators' blue line. Sanderson racked up 14 goals, 54 points, 128 blocked shots and 147 shots on net over 67 regular-season outings. This is his second taste of the playoffs after earning three points over six postseason contests last spring.

Senators' Dylan Cozens: Forces overtime in Game 2
Cozens scored a goal on three shots and added four hits in Monday's 3-2 double-overtime loss to the Hurricanes.
Cozens tallied at 16:40 of the second period, and that was the last goal for nearly three full periods. The center has earned nine points, 35 shots and 31 hits over his last 12 contests, so he'll likely continue to be an important part of the Senators' offense as they try to dig out of a 2-0 deficit in this first-round series. Cozens had 59 points in 82 regular-season outings this year, and he added 205 shots, 215 hits and 59 PIM to provide some grit with his offense.

Senators' Drake Batherson: Buries goal Monday
Batherson scored a goal on three shots and added five hits in Monday's 3-2 double-overtime loss to the Hurricanes in Game 2.
Batherson has six shots and nine hits over two playoff contests. The 27-year-old winger is a lock for top-six minutes and power-play time. Batherson is in his second playoff run after racking up two points over six outings during the 2025 postseason. He had a career-high 71 points (30 on the power play) over 79 regular-season games this year.

Senators' Lucas Beckman: Pens ELC with Ottawa
Beckman signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Senators on Tuesday.
Beckman was selected by Ottawa in the fourth round (97th overall) in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft. The 18-year-old netminder is currently playing in the postseason with QMJHL Chicoutimi -- he's undefeated in eight playoff games while posting a dazzling 0.75 GAA and .962 save percentage. The Senators didn't make it official in their announcement, but Beckman's entry-level deal will presumably begin during the 2026-27 campaign.

Senators' Linus Ullmark: Heartbreaking 2OT loss Monday
Ullmark made 43 saves Monday during the Senators' 3-2 double-overtime loss to the Hurricanes in Game 2 of their first-round series.
After Carolina jumped out to a 2-0 lead midway through the second period, Ullmark allowed Ottawa to rally by shutting the door for the rest of regulation and then stayed sharp into extra time -- including a stop on a Jordan Martinook penalty shot in the first OT period -- before Martinook got his revenge in the game's 94th minute. Ullmark has allowed five goals on 75 shots to begin the playoffs, and he's not the reason the Senators head home for Game 3 on Thursday staring at a 2-0 series deficit.

Senators' Artem Zub: Not an option Monday
Zub (undisclosed) is not in the lineup for Game 2 against the Hurricanes on Monday, Graeme Nichols of The Hockey News reports.
Zub will be replaced in the lineup by Lassi Thomson, who will skate alongside Dennis Gilbert in a third-pairing role, while Nikolas Matinpalo will work on the No. 1 pairing with Jake Sanderson. Zub will have a few days to attempt to be ready for Thursday's Game 3, which will be played in Ottawa.

Senators' Linus Ullmark: Set to start in Game 2
Ullmark will patrol the road blue paint Monday versus the Hurricanes, per Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News.
Ullmark turned in a pretty solid effort in Saturday's Game 1 loss, stopping 27 of 29 shots, but the Senators weren't able to find the back of the net in a shutout loss. Game 2 won't be any easier for the Swedish netminder -- Ottawa will be without arguably its top shutdown defenseman in Artem Zub (undisclosed).

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.
