Senators' Andre Burakovsky: Shelved Saturday
Burakovsky will miss Saturday's matchup with Toronto due to an upper-body injury, Julian McKenzie of The Athletic reports.
Burakovsky notched 11 goals and 22 assists, including 10 power-play points, in 75 regular-season games last year. If Warren Foegele (undisclosed) is available Saturday, the Senators won't need to call up a player from the minors to replace Burakovsky.

Senators' Linus Ullmark: Stops three goals in win
Ullmark stopped 22 of 25 shots in Saturday's 4-3 preseason win over the Canadiens.

The Canadiens then struck twice in a span of 1:46 during the third, with Alex Belzile and Sasha Pastujov beating Ullmark to tie the contest, but a later goal from William Eklund gave the Senators -- and Ullmark -- the win. Ullmark posted a 28-12-8 record with three shutouts, a 2.73 GAA and an .891 save percentage in 49 regular-season appearances for Ottawa in 2025-26. While this wasn't his finest performance with the regular season right around the corner, he's slated to open the 2026-27 campaign as the first-choice goaltender for the Senators.

Ottawa ultimately went 4-for-8 with the man advantage, with all four of its goals coming on the power play. Giroux will open the season as a middle-six forward and is slated to open the campaign skating in the third line next to Michael Amadio and Shane Pinto (undisclosed).
