Status report
Tkachuk will play after not practicing Monday for maintenance. ... Senators coach Travis Green said there could be some game-time decisions. … Cozens will face Buffalo for the first time since Ottawa acquired him in a trade March 7. … Norris, a center acquired from the Senators as part of the same trade, will miss his sixth straight game. … Kulich likely will return after missing four games because of a concussion; he was a full participant at the Sabres morning skate, including working in his usual spot in the right circle on power-play drills. … Greenway is day to day; the forward was injured during the first period of a 5-3 win at the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday.
