Alex DeBrincat and Cam Talbot will both be game-time decisions for Monday's home game against the Anaheim Ducks. Josh Norris, who hasn't played since sustaining a shoulder injury against the Arizona Coyotes on Oct. 22, will be re-evaluated after Christmas.
“I think we were thinking end of January," said head coach DJ Smith. "If anything happens sooner than that it would be great but I would expect end of January. When it happened, I was told that it might be the year, so the rehab he’s done well with it.”
Centre Rourke Chartier will be making his debut for the Senators. The 26-year-old's last NHL appearance was on Nov. 15, 2018 with the San Jose Sharks.
Chartier leads the Belleville Senators with 14 goals in 24 games this season.
