NHL Injury Updates and Roster Changes: Ice Chips Report

Stay up to date with all the latest injury updates and roster changes in the NHL with the daily Ice Chips. The Ottawa Senators have called up defenseman Lassi Thomson from the AHL's Belleville Senators for their upcoming two-game homestand. This move comes as the Senators deal with injuries to defensemen Jake Sanderson and Nick Jensen, who will both miss the weekend games. Sanderson is expected to be out for several weeks, while Jensen's status will be evaluated daily. Dennis Gilbert will step in for Jensen on the blue line, and Linus Ullmark will start in goal on Saturday. Thomson has had a productive season in the AHL, with 14 goals and 25 points in 55 games.

In Buffalo, forward Alex Tuch is likely to return to the lineup against the Toronto Maple Leafs after missing the previous game due to a lower-body injury. However, defenseman Mattias Samuelsson is doubtful for the upcoming game. Samuelsson played over 20 minutes in the Sabres' last game but may not be available for the next matchup.
