Ottawa Senators face a depleted defense heading into their April 2 home matchup against the surging Buffalo Sabres, with Thomas Chabot out for the regular season remainder due to a right arm injury, Jake Sanderson sidelined but potentially returning soon, and Nick Jensen, Lassi Thomson, and Dennis Gilbert also unavailable, forcing recalls and NHL debuts like Jakob Yakemchuk. Buffalo, ranked No. 3 in NHL power rankings at 44-20-8, boasts strong recent form and a healthy lineup featuring Tage Thompson, Alex Tuch, and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen in net. Both Atlantic Division contenders—Ottawa at 38-24-10 (86 points), one behind Boston—battle for playoff positioning in a tight race, with the Sabres holding a historical edge in recent head-to-heads amid high-stakes implications.
