Hamonic (undisclosed) did not finish Thursday's game versus the Avalanche, Julian McKenzie of The Athletic reports. There was no update on Hamonic's status after the game, so his status for Saturday's game against the Devils is in doubt. If Hamonic can't play, Dennis Gilbert will likely draw into the lineup.
Jensen (lower body) will be unavailable for Thursday's clash with Colorado, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports. Jensen will be on the shelf for his third consecutive contest due to his lingering lower-body injury. In his last 12 appearances, the 34-year-old blueliner has recorded a lone point to go with nine shots, five hits and 16 blocks. Even once cleared to play, Jensen is unlikely to offer more than mid-range fantasy value given his offensive limitations.
Ullmark is expected to defend the home crease against the Avalanche on Thursday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports. Ullmark snapped a five-game winning streak against Montreal on Tuesday, but he's still been sharp overall this month, going 6-1-1 with a 2.86 GAA and .908 save percentage over eight starts. He'll fave a tough test Thursday, as the Avalanche are tied for fifth in the NHL with 3.30 goals per game.
Amadio scored a goal and added two hits in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Canadiens. Amadio has three goals and two assists during his four-game point streak. He reached the 10-goal mark for the season Tuesday, but he's surged to get there with five tallies in nine contests in March. The 28-year-old forward is up to 22 points, 67 shots on net, 84 hits, 35 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating across 57 appearances. It's far from a lock, but Amadio could push to surpass the 27 points he logged in each of the previous two seasons with the Golden Knights, which represents his career high.
Batherson scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM, logged two hits and went minus-3 in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Canadiens. Batherson has three goals and three assists during his four-game point streak. The 26-year-old winger has had instant chemistry with Dylan Cozens and David Perron as the Senators' second line following the trade deadline. Batherson is up to 55 points (25 on the power play), 143 shots on net, 113 hits and a minus-9 rating across 67 appearances. A third straight 60-point campaign is within reach.
Hamonic scored his first goal of the season and added an assist in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Canadiens. The veteran blueliner snapped a 75-game goal drought, with his last tally coming Dec. 15, 2023 against the Stars. Hamonic isn't in the lineup for his offense -- on the season, he's produced 83 blocked shots and 62 hits in 53 appearances, but only five points.
Ullmark stopped 27 of 31 shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Canadiens, with Montreal's final two goals getting scored into an empty net. The Senators took a 2-1 lead into the third period, but a Lane Hutson tally through a screen early in the frame turned the momentum in the home squad's favor. It was Ullmark's first regulation loss in March, and through eight starts on the month he's gone 6-1-1 with a 2.86 GAA and .908 save percentage as Ottawa surged toward a playoff spot.
Ullmark will be between the road pipes Tuesday in Montreal, according to TSN 1200 Ottawa. Ullmark has been stellar recently, winning each of his last five appearances while turning aside 128 of 140 shots on goal during the streak. The Swedish netminder lost all four of his outings in February, but he's stepped up his game at a critical point in the season for the Sens, posting a 6-0-1 record, .913 save percentage and 2.69 GAA over seven contests in March. Ullmark is 3-3-0 against the Canadiens in his career.
