Status report
Murray, who won the Stanley Cup with the Penguins in 2016 and 2017, could back up Forsberg after missing one game because of a non-COVID-19 illness. He has not faced his former team since being traded to the Senators on Oct. 7, 2020. … Heinen and Aston-Reese, each a forward, cleared COVID-19 protocol along with DeSmith, a goalie, on Wednesday. Each will be a game-time decision.
