Ottawa Senators' blue line is severely depleted ahead of hosting the Minnesota Wild, with five of their top six defensemen sidelined—Jake Sanderson, Thomas Chabot, Nick Jensen, Dennis Gilbert, and rookie Carter Yakemchuk out, plus Tyler Kleven's new upper-body injury from Thursday's win over Buffalo—prompting call-up Cameron Crotty and exposing depth issues on their five-game homestand. The Senators (39-26-10) reclaimed the East's second wild-card spot via that 4-1 victory, fueling urgency to secure playoff positioning. Minnesota (41-21-12), fresh off clinching a Central Division playoff berth with a 5-2 rout of Vancouver where Matt Boldy and Ryan Hartman each tallied twice, face cross-country travel fatigue but carry momentum into this matchup against a desperate home side.
