The Penguins are expected to make one change from their last game. Arturs Silovs is likely to start in goal against the Senators. Additionally, Bryan Rust will serve the final game of his three-game suspension for an illegal check.
Both teams have several players dealing with injuries. However, Ryan Graves and Caleb Jones have returned to practice and are cleared for contact after extended absences.
