Giroux has been out since February 7th but it looks like he'll return to the lineup Wednesday vs. the Rangers. Look for Giroux, who has 11 points (1G / 10A) in 13 games, is expected to skate with Kevin Hayes and Nolan Patrick.
Chabot has missed the last two games with an upper-body injury but should play Tuesday vs. Montreal. Chabot was on the ice for the Senators' morning skate and while he's officially considered a game-time decision, head coach DJ Smith said that there's a "pretty good chance" that he's back in. Chabot, who has three goals and six assists (nine points) in 17 games, would be replaced by Braydon Coburn if he can't go.
Chabot missed Thursday's game in Toronto and Saturday's practice but head coach DJ Smith did not rule him out vs. the Canadiens. If he misses another game, expect Erik Brannstrom and Mike Reilly to man the power-play units.
Cozens has not played since January 31st but has returned from COVID-19 "flying" according to the Sabres' head coach Ralph Krueger. Cozens will most likely return to a top-6 role next to Eric Staal and comes in with two goals and one assist in his first nine career NHL games.
The Flyers will return to the ice for the first time in 10 days after a COVID-19 outbreak but will do so without six regulars. Giroux, Jakub Voracek, Travis Konecny, Justin Braun, Oskar Lindblom and Scott Laughton will all miss Tuesday's game against the Rangers.
Eller has missed the last four games with an upper-body injury but practiced on Saturday and could be back in the lineup on Saturday. Eller would slot in on the second line and has one goal and one assist in seven games on the year.
MacEwen has skated in seven straight games but will be replaced by Jake Virtanen in the lineup on Thursday. MacEwen has scored one goal in 10 games this season.
Chabot will miss his second straight game with a lower-body injury, which means Artem Zub will remain in the Senators lineup in a tough assignment vs. Connor McDavid and Co.
