Ottawa Senators 

Goaltender Matt Murray has been labelled day-to-day with an upper-body injury.

Murray was not on the ice for team's gameday skate Tuesday, while Joey Daccord worked in the starter's net again after starting Monday against the Vancouver Canucks.

Murray was injured in warmups ahead of Sunday's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs and did not dress Monday.

The Senators recalled goaltender Kevin Mandolese on an emergency basis.

Later in the day, it was announced Ottawa had claimed goaltender Anton Forsberg off waivers from the Winnipeg Jets.

“On account of recent injuries, Anton’s acquisition provides us with depth and stability at the goaltending position. He's a goaltender who’s athletic and positionally sound. His addition should prove beneficial for us," Sens general manager Pierre Dorion said Wednesday of the move. 

Also on Wednesday the Sens announced they have signed 2018 draftee Angus Crookshank to a three-year, entry-level contract.

The deal is set to begin in the 2021-22 season.


Vancouver Canucks

Thatcher Demko will start in net against the Ottawa Senators, while Tyler Motte is a possibility to make his return to the lineup. 

Motte, who's been out since Feb. 6, skated on the third line in Tuesday's practice.

Meanwhile, the team also announced Wednesday that they have claimed forward Jimmy Vesey off waivers from the Toronto Maple Leafs.

He is expected to join the team in Ottawa on Wednesday. His availability to play will be updated once details of work permit status are confirmed.

Defenceman Alexander Petrovic and goaltender Artyom Zagidulin have been recalled from the AHL's Stockton Heat.

They have been assigned to the taxi squad.

Meanwhile, goaltender Louis Domingue and defenceman Michael Stone have been assigned to the Heat.
