Goaltender Cam Talbot was a late scratch for the Ottawa Senators Monday night because of a lower-body injury, the team announced two hours to puck drop.
According to TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger, Talbot strained a muscle after taking a hit in Saturday's game against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Kevin Mandolese was called up and backed up Mads Sogaard, who got the start Monday night in Chicago against the Blackhawks. Sogaard allowed five goals on 21 shots in a 5-0 loss.
