Sanderson left the Senators' previous contest vs. Detroit on January 31st after just 4:49 TOI due to a lower-body injury and will be out Saturday as Ottawa plays Toronto. The 21-year-old sophomore has taken a step forward across all aspects of his game in his second season and has seven goals, 24 points, 99 SOG, 19 PIMs and a +5 plus/minus in 47 games prior to his injury.
Ullmark will return to the crease for the first time post-All-Star break in a showdown between the Eastern and Western Conference leaders. The Bruins are coming off a 4-1 loss to the Calgary Flames on Tuesday but are -132 home favourites against a Vancouver Canucks squad with points in 12 straight (10-0-2). Ullmark last played on January 27th, saving 35 of 37 shots (.946 SV%) in a 6-2 win over the Philadelphia Flyers.
Cousins was the recipient of a controversial hit from Arizona's Jason Zucker, which led to a three-game suspension. Cousins has been out of the lineup since, missing 12 games due to a concussion. The 30-year-old scrappy centre has struggled to produce offensively in 2023-24 with only two goals, three assists, 20 PIMs, 63 SOG and a -10 plus/minus in 37 games.
Sanderson suffered the injury towards the end of the first period of Wednesday's game and did not return. We should expect to receive an update on the injury and a possible timeline for his return following the conclusion of Wednesday's game.
Kaliyev will be a healthy scratch on Wednesday in order to make room for the return of Quinton Byfield (illness). Kaliyev has enjoyed a rather productive season considering his limited usage, registering six goals and eight assists in 38 games with an ATOI of 13:10.
Pettersson was a third-round pick (No.72 overall) in 2022 and comes to North America after 30 combined games between Rögle BK and Rögle BK Jr.
Sogaard will make his first start in three games Monday after taking over in relief for Joonas Korpisalo in the Senators' 7-2 loss to New York on Saturday. The 23-year-old towering netminder has struggled in his first three appearences this season, posting a 1-1-0 record, 4.55 GAA and .841 SV%. He will take on the Nashville Predators, who have lost three of their last four games and are 18th in the NHL in goals per game (2.98).

Quinton Byfield will not play Friday in Colorado, so Kaliyev will play for the first time since January 18th. Kaliyev was a healthy scratch for the last three games but comes back into the lineup with six goals and eight assists (14 points) in 36 games this season.
Kaliyev has missed the last three games but will draw back into the lineup on Friday. The 22-year-old Kaliyev has failed to record a point in eight straight games while averaging nearly 13 minutes of time-on-ice per night.
Cousins was the recipient of a controversial hit from Arizona's Jason Zucker, which led to a three-game suspension. The 30-year-old scrappy centre has struggled to produce offensively in 2023-24 with only two goals, three assists, 20 PIMs, 63 SOG and a -10 plus/minus in 37 games. With Cousins cleared from concussion protocol after missing 10 games, his return to the lineup is now just a matter of conditioning.
Ullmark will be back between the pipes for Wednesday's game against the Hurricanes after Jeremy Swayman got the nod against the Jets on Monday. Ullmark allowed four goals on just 21 shots in Saturday's game against the Canadiens, though he still cruised to an easy victory thanks to his teammates spotting him nine goals. The 2022-23 Vezina Trophy winner hasn't quite lived up to the lofty standards he set last season, but he's still been more than effective with a 14-5-2 record and .912 SV% to his name. He draws a tough assignment on Wednesday as the Bruins play host to the mighty Hurricanes.
With the return of Matt Roy (personal), Jordan Spence was the odd man out of the Kings' lineup Wednesday vs. Buffalo. The 22-year-old has yet to find the back of the net in 2023-24 but has a career high 14 assists, 49 SOG, four PIMs and a +7 plus/minus across 40 games played.
Lycksell has been enjoying a strong season with Lehigh Valley (AHL), where he has 16 goals, 28 points and 12 PIMs in 33 games and has earned his second call-up of the season to Philadelphia Monday. The 24-year-old has appeared in nine NHL games and will play a complementary role, replacing Bobby Brink, who was sent down to Lehigh Valley on Monday.

Sogaard allowed six goals on 33 shots in the Senators loss to the Avalanche on Tuesday. It was a rough season debut for Sogaard, who was 8-5-2 with a 2.48 GAA and .920 SV% when he was recalled from the AHL. This afternoon he'll face a Flyers team that lost 7-4 to the Avalanche yesterday, snapping a five-game winning streak--they've averaged 3.7 goals per game during that six-game stretch.
