Murray is day-to-day with an upper-body injury and will not dress on Saturday.

Murray left Thursday's game in Winnipeg with an upper-body injury and will miss the rematch on Saturday. The Senators did not give a timetable on how long they expect Matt Murray to be out, but Marcus Hogberg will start Saturday with Filip Gustavsson coming up to be his backup.

Murray will start Monday vs. the Oilers.

Murray allowed two goals on 32 shots in Ottawa's 2-1 loss to the Canadiens on Saturday. Murray had a disastrous start to his Senators career but has settled in nicely in his last two starts, stopping 66 of the 70 shots (.943 SV%) that he's faced in those games. Tonight he'll look to continue his hot stretch of play vs. an Oilers team that scored three goals on nine shots against him last Sunday.

Kakko (COVID-19) is expected to play on Thursday.

A couple of days after being added to the COVID-19 protocol list, Kakko was on the ice for practice on Wednesday and is expected to play on Thursday. This suggests that Kakko had a false positive test, which is great news for the Rangers, who are already without Filip Chytil and Colin Blackwell. Kakko skated on a line with Artemi Panarin and Ryan Strome in Wednesday's practice.
