Senators head coach D.J. Smith told reporters that the team is hopeful forward Tim Stützle can play Friday night against the Philadelphia Flyers.
The 20-year-old centre did not practice on Thursday because of a lower-body injury, playing 19:30 against the Columbus Blue Jackets the evening before.
It appears Claude Giroux may have played his last game for the Flyers.
TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun reported that the team plans to sit Giroux through the trade deadline after playing in his 1,000th game Thursday night.
The Flyers play the Ottawa Senators Friday night and the New York Islanders Sunday afternoon.
Giroux is currently the No. 1 player on TSN's Trade Bait board.
LeBrun also reports Anaheim's Hampus Lindholm will too be a scratch Friday night as his Ducks take on the Florida Panthers. Friday is Anaheim's lone game remaining before Monday's trade deadline.
