The Ottawa Senators won't have one of their top defencemen in the lineup against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Head coach Travis Green says that Nick Jensen won't play because of an undisclosed injury, while Travis Hamonic will make his return. Thomas Chabot will be paired with Hamonic with Jensen sidelined.
While Anton Forsberg will start in goal for the Senators, a familiar face was on the ice as Linus Ullmark took part in the morning skate.
Green said that Ullmark won't be in the lineup this weekend but he is close to returning. Ullmark has been on the shelf with a back injury he suffered on Dec. 22 against the Edmonton Oilers.
Acquired by the Senators in a trade with the Boston Bruins in June, Ullmark has a 12-7-2 record with a .915 save percentage and a 2.38 goals-against average this season.
Watch the Senators go head-to-head with the Leafs on Hockey Night in Canada. You can watch the game on Sportsnet starting at 7 p.m. ET.
