Thornton (undisclosed) is expected to be back in the Panthers lineup on Tuesday.

Not only does it look like Thornton will be back in the lineup, it looks like he'll play on the top line with Aleksander Barkov and Carter Verhaeghe. Thornton has just four goals and two assists (six points) in 24 games this season but will be amped up to face his former team in San Jose.

White suffered a shoulder injury in the preseason and missed nearly five months but is set to make his season debut on Saturday. The Senators said that he will move around the lineup, playing both centre and wing. White had 10 goals and eight assists (18 points) in 45 games a season ago.
