Michael Amadio & David Perron were still wearing yellow non-contact jerseys at #Sens practice. Travis Green says neither will play this weekend. Ottawa plays Pittsburgh on the road Saturday & Dallas at home on Sunday.

"It's not like we're trying to hold back information. We're dealing with a back and sometimes it takes more time than others. (Ullmark) skated a bit on his own today." Travis Green with an update on #Sens goalie Linus Ullmark who remains out, week to week.

The #Sens have signed Ridly Greig to a 4 year contract extension with an AAV of $3.25mil through to 2028-29. GM Steve Staios says “Ridly has established himself as a key member of our team going forward. He brings a good mix of versatility and tenacity to our forward group.”

“You’re going to get frustrated, it’s hard not too. If you don’t get frustrated you’re probably in the wrong business….It’s how you handle that frustration and then we’ll reset.” Travis Green following the #Sens 4-0 loss to Buffalo. Ottawa has 1 regulation win in their last 9 games.

Just a friendly reminder that the U-18 Women’s World Championship is currently underway in Finland and the Canadian’s are perfect after 2 games. Canada plays Czechia Tuesday on @TSN_Sports at 1:30pm EST. #WorldJuniors #WomensHockey

Tim Stützle says it's not an excuse but he hasn't had a lot of energy with his illness the last few games. Also says the bug has been going around the #Sens locker room: “I think a lot of guys haven’t been feeling great. Right now, it’s just getting back to the routines.”

Brady Tkachuk (left) was one of the players helping JBD off the ice after his injury. “There’s probably a million thoughts that go through his head at a time like that. I just wanted him to let it all out and it sucks. I just want to be there for him.“ #Sens

Brady Tkachuk said there wasn't a lot of boasting when he arrived to #Sens practice after watching USA capture Gold at the #WorldJuniors. “I wouldn’t say too much bragging, I just think every body expected it so, yeah. Obviously came with a smile on my face but didn’t need to say too much.”

A few of the American #Sens watched USA win Gold at the #WorldJuniors in Ottawa on Sunday night. Shane Pinto said “My & Brady & Sandy were talking, that’s a pretty rare thing that they come into your NHL rink & they end up winning....

Pinto said: "I thought it was a puck was under my foot so I just whipped it and then I took a tumble. It was a good one. I’m alright....Didn’t feel good but the boys got a laugh out of it so that’s all that matters."

Travis Green said he didn't have an update yet on JBD but said, “You worry about your players. Especially with something like that, seeing a guy getting helped off the ice.” #Sens

Shane Pinto skated out at #Sens practice with one skate guard on & bailed. He's fine. Following practice Stützle said: “I hate to say it but I saw him walking out with one. Didn’t tell him. Josh saw it too. We were just kind of waiting until he gets on the ice. I can't believe he didn't feel it."

Jacob Bernard-Docker just went down hard into the boards at #Sens practice. Needed help off and couldn’t put any weight on his left leg.
