Status report
Smith will make his first NHL start since March 11, 2020. … Haas did not take part in the morning skate but is expected to play. … Oilers coach Dave Tippett said Bear is not ready to return and they could play seven defensemen in his absence. ... The Senators will use the same lineup from a 2-1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday, coach D.J. Smith said. … Wolanin is close to returning, but the defenseman will not play. It is up to the Senators medical staff to clear him, coach D.J. Smith said.
