Severson (illness) is available for Thursday's game against the Canucks, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Severson missed Tuesday's game against Calgary due to an illness, but he'll be back in action following a minimal absence. Across his last 11 appearances, he's recorded a goal, seven assists, 16 blocked shots, 10 PIM and four hits while averaging 20:55 of ice time.

Dunn picked up two assists, including one on the power play, in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Devils.

It's the third multi-point performance in the last five games for Dunn. The 29-year-old blueliner had a quiet start to the season, but over his last 17 appearances, he has delivered two goals and 13 points, with most of that production (one goal and nine assists) coming on the power play. His 15 power-play points on the season are already just one shy of the career high he set in 2023-24.

Chychrun (illness) is available for Thursday's game against San Jose, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Chychrun missed the last two games due to an illness, but he's been cleared to return for Thursday's home matchup. Over his eight appearances leading up to his absence, he recorded a goal, three assists, 13 blocked shots, four hits and four PIM while averaging 23:18 of ice time.

Gudbranson (hip) will be activated off injured reserve ahead of Thursday's clash with Vancouver, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

Gudbranson looks poised to play for the first time since Oct. 25 versus the Penguins. Even with his activation, the veteran blueliner is far from a lock to play on a nightly basis and could periodically serve as a healthy scratch. In order to clear a roster spot for Gudbranson, Dysin Mayo will likely be shipped back to the minors.

Gustafsson was summoned from AHL Grand Rapids on Thursday.

Gustafsson played well in Grand Rapids this season, tallying a pair of goals, 18 assists and a plus-18 rating in 22 AHL contests. The Red Wings are down to 12 healthy forwards, and it's possible that Gustafsson could see some action up front if the team runs into an injury problem ahead of its game versus San Jose on Friday.

Clarke scored a goal on three shots, blocked three shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.

Clarke tied the game at 18:33 of the third period, forcing overtime and ultimately salvaging a standings point for the Kings. The 22-year-old defenseman had gone 17 games without a goal since potting a pair Dec. 6 versus the Blackhawks. In that span, he had eight assists and 32 shots on net. For the season, Clarke is up to a career-high six goals with 17 assists, 92 shots on net, 82 blocked shots, 26 PIM, 22 hits and a plus-9 rating over 46 appearances in a top-four role.

Chabot scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Rangers.

Chabot snapped a five-game slump with his second-period marker, which put the Senators up 6-0 and chased Jonathan Quick from the contest. The goal was Chabot's fifth of the season, three of which have been scored over his last seven outings. He's at 16 points, 50 shots on net, 59 blocked shots, 23 hits and an even plus-minus rating across 31 appearances in a top-four role.

Jensen scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Rangers.

Jensen had gone four games without a point prior to Wednesday. The 35-year-old defenseman is up to three goals, 12 points, 30 shots on net, 43 blocked shots, 27 hits, 22 PIM and a minus-12 rating over 44 appearances. He's been given two games off since the holiday break, one of which was in a back-to-back set. It looks like the Senators will manage Jensen's workload a bit, at least while the team is fully healthy on the blue line.

Sanderson scored a goal, added an assist and blocked five shots in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Rangers.

Sanderson saw a seven-game point streak snapped Tuesday versus the Canucks, but he made up for it Wednesday. The defenseman was one of seven Senators to earn multiple points in this blowout win, and it was his first such performance since Dec. 15 in Winnipeg. Sanderson is up to nine goals, 35 points, 98 shots on net, 92 blocks and a plus-5 rating through 46 appearances. He is on pace to top the 60-point mark for the first time in his career.

Ristolainen (upper body) will not play Wednesday versus the Sabres.

Ristolainen is considered day-to-day but will be out for the first half of a back-to-back. The 31-year-old defenseman should be considered questionable at best for Thursday's game in Pittsburgh. Noah Juulsen will stay in the lineup with Ristolainen's absence, while Jamie Drysdale (upper body) will check into a top-four role.
