Matinpalo (undisclosed) is expected to play against Vancouver on Monday.

Matinpalo sat out five straight games after playing for Finland at the 2026 Winter Olympics. He has earned four assists, 19 shots on goal, 33 blocked shots and 27 hits in 30 appearances this season. Matinpalo will replace Jake Sanderson (upper body) in Monday's lineup against the Canucks.

Stenberg was promoted from AHL Springfield on Monday.

Stenberg has appeared in 18 NHL games this season, earning one goal on 17 shots, seven assists and 33 hits while averaging 14:00 of ice time. Even with the 20-year-old center on the roster, he is far from a lock to suit up versus the Islanders on Tuesday.

Sanderson (upper body) is week-to-week, Jackson Starr of the Senators' official site reports Monday.

Sanderson sustained the injury in Saturday's 7-4 win over Seattle. He has compiled 11 goals, 48 points, 133 shots on net and 116 blocked shots across 62 appearances this season. With Sanderson unavailable, Nikolas Matinpalo (undisclosed) will return to action from an injury, and Thomas Chabot will receive an increased role in the lineup.

Reimer will defend the crease on the road against the Canucks on Monday, Randip Janda of Sportsnet reports.

Reimer last played for the Senators on Feb. 5 versus the Flyers, stopping 15 of 16 shots in a winning effort. In total, Reimer has logged seven games for Ottawa this year, going 3-3-1 with an .870 save percentage. While Reimer plays Monday, Linus Ullmark should continue to see the bulk of the workload moving forward.

Dobes will get the starting nod at home against the Maple Leafs on Tuesday, RDS.ca reports.

Dobes has continued to rack up wins, securing five victories in his last seven outings. Overall, the young netminder is 20-6-4 this season in just 30 appearances. Dobes should continue to see the bulk of the workload moving forward.

Marchand (lower body) is expected to be out for weeks due to a lingering injury, George Richards of NHL.com reports Monday.

Marchand may need surgery to address the issue, which is something he has been playing through for a couple of months. Even if he doesn't need a procedure, Marchand's absence is likely to be for an extended period. He has amassed 27 goals, 54 points and 138 shots on net across 52 appearances this season.

Schwartz (face) will be sidelined indefinitely, the Kraken announced Monday.

Schwartz has appeared in 42 games for Seattle this season, in which he has recorded 10 goals and 11 helpers, including three power-play points. If the 33-year-old winger doesn't return before the end of the 2026-27 campaign, he will end the year having recorded his lowest point total since 2021-22, when he was limited to just 21 points in 37 games.

Fabbro (lower body) will be a game-time decision versus the Kings on Monday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

Fabbro has already missed two games due to his lower-body problem and could be in danger of missing a third. Over 54 games this year, the 27-year-old blueliner has managed just four goals and five assists, well off his pace from last season, in which he notched 26 points in 68 games between the Predators and Blue Jackets.

Greaves will patrol the home crease against the Kings on Monday, according to Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.

Greaves has won his last two outings while stopping 47 of the 51 shots he has faced. He has a 20-12-7 record this season with two shutouts, a 2.63 GAA and a .909 save percentage through 40 appearances. Los Angeles is tied for 29th in the league with 2.56 goals per game this campaign.

Boeser (undisclosed) is slated to be a game-time decision against Ottawa on Monday, according to Randip Janda of Sportsnet.

Boeser was on the ice briefly for Monday's morning skate. However, his early departure from the session has him questionable for Monday's game against the Senators. If Boeser and Evander Kane (undisclosed) are unavailable, Curtis Douglas could suit up for Monday's matchup.
